An evening with Jessica Bernstein, Psy.D.
Psychologist specializing in type 1 diabetes/chronic illness “Blood & Honey” documentary film director and producer Living with type 1 diabetes for 38 Years
DATE: Wednesday, September 15, 2010
TIME: 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
PLACE: Congregation Etz Chayim; 4161 Alma Street, Palo Alto, CA
RSVP: Tamar Sofer-Geri at tamar@geri.org
In a controversial talk, Psychologist Jessica Bernstein sparks debate about our current method of approaching diabetes care with the goal of controlling the condition. Dr. Bernstein, who has had type 1 diabetes since age one, will discuss two key questions:
- Is it possible to control diabetes?
- Is it healthy to approach diabetes care with the mindset of trying to control the condition?
Through excerpts from her documentary film (now in production) entitled “Blood & Honey” (www.bloodandhoney.org), Dr. Bernstein will present varying views about the “myth of control.” This talk will provide you with new ideas for approaching diabetes care that could improve the psychological experience of diabetes for anyone diagnosed with type 1 or 2 diabetes, adult or child.
Dr. Bernstein has a private practice in Oakland focused on people with diabetes.
