Defining Self in Family, Profession, and Society




The Bowen Center show

Summary: Defining a self in one’s family is a foundation for raising one’s level of differentiation. To be robust, this work includes defining or differentiating a self not only in one’s family but also within one’s profession, work system, and within the community and larger society. In this presentation Dr. Titelman will focus on defining a self in a significant professional relationship and his effort to define a self in two societal arenas: the Civil Rights Movement and the Palestinian/Israeli quagmire. Peter Titelman, PhD, Private Practice, Northampton, MA This lecture was recorded live at The Bowen Center in Washington, DC on May 7, 2015.
