Psychologically-Informed Lawyering: Advanced Skills
This Advanced Skills workshop is for attorneys who have completed the Foundational Skills course, and who would like to continue to expand their interpersonal effectiveness. The training focuses on increasing the attorney’s ability to engage in moment-to-moment tracking of a client’s emotional states; to recognize facial microexpressions that reveal nonverbal (and often hidden) beliefs and intentions; to “hear” and respond to the emotional meaning underneath client communications; and to co-regulate and resource clients who have experienced trauma. This is a challenging and experiential training; as such, attendance will be capped in order to optimize participants’ learning.
PROGRAM FACULTY:
Dr. Dana Baerger received her J.D. from Cornell Law School in 1993 and her Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1999. In 2000, she established her private psychotherapy practice in order to specialize in complex trauma and developmental posttraumatic stress. In addition to providing direct patient care, Dr. Baerger maintains an active teaching schedule, training both attorneys and mental health clinicians. She is known to be a dynamic speaker who is genuinely invested in her audience’s learning experience. Additional information about Dr. Baerger can be found at https://www.drbaerger.com/.
