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' central ego 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 the development of psychopathologies. This seminar is appropriate for clinicians who work with individuals, couples, and families. This seminar is appropriate for graduate counseling students, candidates for licensure, early career professionals, seasoned clinicians, and allied professionals.
