This workshop describes Intersectionality and Intersubjectivity, two theoretical frameworks used to guide socially just clinical practice. These models guide the therapist in initiating "third space conversations," the interactional, therapeutic field where the clinician's and the client's intersectional social identities and subjective attitudes are present and influential. The importance of a socio-historical perspective when working clinically will be demonstrated with the use of composite clinical vignettes that demonstrate the therapist engaging with clients around systemic injustices. Attention will be given to engaging in third space conversations within the ethical framework of the social work profession.

Learning Objectives:

To demonstrate how Intersectionality Theory can inform clinical practice.
To use Intersubjective Systems Theory as a framework for third space conversations.
To discuss how injustice and inequalities may be enacted in clinical practice.
To address how engaging in third space conversations occurs within the context of the NASW Code of Ethics.
