The emphasis of his contributions has been on the translation of insight into concrete emotional and behavioral changes by bringing to fruition the latent potential of the patient. His books and papers in professional journals elucidate his theory that psychoanalytic therapy is a process of self creation in which the therapist plays the dual role of understanding current patterns and facilitating the creation of new ways of being and relating.

ICSW Spring Conference Making Connections: Women, Global Violence, and the Refugee Experience
Synopsis: Human understanding, upon which clinical practice is based, is rooted in compassion derived from contact with experiences outside our own. And, of course, one irony about this comes with the discovery that we are more alike than the differences which have been made of us. ICSW’s full day conference will focus on experiences F.A. Cole Julia Geynisman-Tan, M.D Joanna Vergoth, LCSW, NCPsyA of women who are living —often— off of our symbolic professional register, whose whose lives are lived beyond the reach of our formal theories and practices. We will hear from (and about) women--both globally and locally-- who have suffered violence and whose lives are lived beyond the injustice. In coming together, we can expand the reach of our formal theories and practices. In coming together, we can expand the domain of our understanding and learn something about ourselves, as clinicians and as citizens.
