2nd talk of the 2023-2024 NECET Conference Series by Richard Freid, LMHC. Responses by Lynn O’Neal, LMHC and Sam Aston, MHC.

NECET steering committee member Richard Freid will elaborate on his talk for the Psychology of the Other conference entitled What is Ethics? From Content to a Mode of Existential Activity. Drawing upon Heidegger’s later work on Identity, Difference and "the openness"; Richard will show how this openness evokes a tenderness that softens the threat of difference. From this perspective, he will show how ethics can shift from defensive, protective rules of right and wrong to a relational mode of existential activity, which can be embodied in clinical practice.
