The information
revolution is on. Enabled by digital information technology people
are experiencing themselves and interacting with others in entirely
new ways. Participants will be invited to explore the implications
of the "digitally enabled" patient on the therapeutic work. The
workshop is purely exploratory. Starting with a case presentation of
the profound transformation experienced by a global media
enterprise, a discreet set of propositions will be developed that
will act as catalyst for conversation.
