Cognitive Behavior Therapy, the most influential and ubiquitous form of psychotherapy today, now far exceeds psychoanalysis in the breadth of its clinical influence. Beck, now 94, grew up in Providence’s tightly-knit Jewish immigrant community clustered around Temple Emanu-El, known as the “golden ghetto,” and remained here through his graduation from Brown in 1942. Rosner’s biography of Beck will be published in 2017; join us to learn about this storied neighborhood and one of its most influential sons.
