Dr. Stacie Dilts-Harryman - "Therapeutic Relationships in the Age of Social Media"
Description: Updating a status, checking out the latest video that's gone viral, replying to hashtags, re-pinning to a board-are these buzz phrases or a way of life? Today, social media is not only ubiquitous, it is a way of life for a great many people. They are sharing love, joy, happiness and positivity as well as grief, pain, sadness, depression and negativity. However, the effects of social media are more far-reaching than instant-sharing, and the implications of social media have, are and will continue to find their way into the therapy room. But are the fallouts of social media such as infidelity or cyberbullying the only issues that should be recognized? Shouldn't we also consider another question: whether social media can affect therapeutic relationships?
Dr. Stacie Dilts-Harryman will introduce lecture participants to some basic information on social media that no professional should be without as she lays a foundation to understanding significant aspects of social media. Once the importance and implications of social media are presented, she will then open new doors to understanding why this platform of communication should be taken seriously by therapists on a personal, as well as professional level.
