Taking
"Control" Out of Diabetes
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
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.
