    Matters of money come into the clinical space in various ways, especially when the explicit aspect of finances are not discussed between therapist and patient. This workshop will elicit in participants the myriad of ways therapists may, unwittingly, enact counterproductive financial dynamics in the consulting room through the lens of transference/countertransference dynamics. The presenter will create a space of curiosity towards considering money matters in the clinical space.

    Learning Objectives

    • Understand the impact of culture as it pertains to the significance/lack of significance of ‘talk therapy’ and ways in which that can impact fee setting and payment

    • Increase curiosity for participants pertaining to the variety of things at play pertaining to payment/fee/money in the consulting room
    • Define issues around tact pertaining to discussing the fee and payment
