My therapist keeps up on continuous education even though he's nearly 70. He's always reading books in order to better himself and is the editor of at least one peer-reviewed journal.

My last therapist, the same age, did similar things. He went to seminars and conferences in both psychiatry and psychotherapy and subscribed to and read journal articles. I wonder if most therapists do continuing education?

I do self-generated continuous education for my profession as well. It's tough to keep up with, but I think it's necessary in many different fields of work. I can see how especially important this is in the healthcare field.

This might be a course for non-dynamic therapists to take to help them identify, understand, and deal with counter/transference issues that arise. It's $99.
