Impulse is a community newsletter produced by the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology (NCSPP) and distributed electronically at no cost to subscribers. We envision Impulse as an integrative source for local news, events, and thinking of interest to the psychoanalytically inclined. Our goal is to be your guide as you explore the Bay Area's rich array of analytic resources.
We invite you to become a member of NCSPP, if you are not already. And, we welcome you as a subscriber to Impulse. Join us as we highlight the exceptional diversity of psychoanalytic thought and practice in Northern California.

THE MORAL DIMENSION OF PSYCHOTHERAPY
One aspect of the practice of psychotherapy that seems vital yet is often overlooked is its moral dimension. This dimension ostensibly goes unnoticed because of the socio-historical alignment of psychotherapy with science and a desire from its practitioners to present it as a values-neutral enterprise. Despite efforts to maintain such objectivity the practice of psychotherapy seems profoundly influenced by morality and being unaware of this impact can have adverse consequences.
