Description:

Huge numbers of people want to KNOW their lives as much as they want to CHANGE. This need to KNOW, long overshadowed in therapy by pathology, is evident every day in: ordinary conversation, the arts, the mindfulness movement and religion. History now calls for therapy’s attention to basic themes of living through the design of Life Focus Communities.

Educational Objectives:

1. List the two major goals that vie for primacy in typical psychotherapeutic practice.
2. Name two socially common, age-old vehicles for examining life.
3. Describe the role of the Sabbath in understanding the purposes of the Life Focus Community.
