Differentiation of Self: The Role of Self in Psychopathology This is a 6.0 CEU seminar addressing the topic Differentiation of Self: The Role of Self in Psychopathology.  This seminar is part of our Working Within the Family Series.  This installment is designed to provide clinicians with a working understanding of the organization of the psyche and how individuals' sense of self-directedness relates to their experience with anxieties and the development of psychopathologies.  This material is presented through the lens of object relations family therapy and Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST).  Clinicians will leave this seminar with better understandings about how early and ongoing relational experiences contribute to ego development, individuals' capacity for self-governance, and psychopathology.  This seminar is appropriate for clinicians who work with individuals, couples, and families.  A light continental breakfast will be provided.
