David Newman, LCSW
Location: The New York Academy of Medicine, 1216 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street, New York, NY 10029
Without warning, in 1999, David Newman, a New York-based
psychotherapist, learned he had a rare and life-threatening tumor in the base of
his skull. He consulted with leading physicians at four major medical centers
and doctors offered drastically differing opinions. In November 2008, in the
context of tumor recurrence, Newman faced a remarkably similar situation.
In this talk of equal interest to both doctors and patients, Newman will describe the expectations and experience of a patient in life-and-death dialogues with doctors. He will focus on the ways that both patient and doctor are continually personally affecting each other and how an atmosphere of collaboration can be created or lost. Using rich and engrossing narrative vignettes, including many missteps and failures, Newman will address the principles and behaviors that underlie a joint valuing of inquiry and a commitment to communication.
