Clinical Philosophy
JUNE 22, 2024
We still, 71 years after the Philosophical Investigations was published, find ourselves surrounded by versions of its 'private language argument' (§§243ff) which are both hopeless arguments and hopeless interpretations. To put this right, I've set out below how the principle hopeless PLA tends to go, and then present how I think the main argument in those sections actually does go.
Speaker: Gary Direnfeld, MSW, RSW.
You may have the clinical skills to manage a private practice, but your success could actually hinge on marketing skills. For a thriving practice, you need to differentiate yourself from others and present yourself in a way that attracts referrals. These days, much of that happens online, including on social media. In this webinar, Gary Direnfeld will discuss how social media marketing can help you build your private practice and grow your client base.

A demographic timebomb caused by an ageing, shrinking population is looming for many western countries, so where are the policies to defuse it? A conference on changing demographics I attended last week tackled the fact that, while we are living longer – a great product of medical innovation – many of us will also experience extended periods later in life with physical and mental decline, so requiring more health and social care than in the past.
