Seminars

The Philadelphia Association runs occasional seminars open to the public on a Thursday evening.

The Philadelphia Association's recent series of seminars, 'Conversations in the Community' are inspired by the notion of community and the desire to bridge the gap between psychotherapy and the wider world.
