On January 23 please join us for a full day workshop "Psychological Issues in the Singing Studio: How Can You Help?" featuring Steven Levenkron, M.S., a renowned psychotherapist practicing in New York City. His work is widely acclaimed as original and groundbreaking in both the theoretical conception and clinical treatment of Anorexia Nervosa, Self-Mutilation, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  Levenkron will offer us insight on recognizing the behaviors, reasons behind them and how to open a dialogue with your student to seek help.  Knowing when we are beyond our area of expertise is important.   He will allow time to answer your questions at the end of the lecture.

The afternoon session (2:00-4:00PM) will feature Dr. Rose Oosting, Dr. Stephen Oosting and Dr. Christopher Michaels.   Dr. Rose Oosting, PhD, a clinical psychologist and Dr. Stephen Oosting, DMA, will host a collaborative session helping voice teachers recognize and address potential psychological issues that arise in the voice studio along with Dr. Christopher Michaels, a noted sports psychologist, who will address attention deficit disorder.

Due to the sensitive discussions about students and how to help them, this workshop will be FOR TEACHERS ONLY.  We hope you understand and will invite your students to other workshops—not this one.

To prepare for this workshop with Steven Levenkron, we suggest you read Anatomy of Anorexia or Cutting: Understanding and Overcoming Self-Mutilation both by W.W. Norton.
