Description:
The concept of differentiation of self in Bowen family systems theory offers a powerful explanatory tool for understanding how we all variably lose and gain self in professional relationships. It will be argued that this occurs automatically in highly emotionally charged situations as well as in the humdrum of everyday professional life. The psychological research literature on water-boarding, the Milgram experiment at Yale and the Stanford Prison Experiment and examples from clinical work will be used to illustrate this. It will also be argued that the professional has an ethical responsibility to be more of a self at these times - or better yet - at all times! |

Description:
"Social pain" is a term used by social-cognitive researchers who have found that the same regions of the brain activated during episodes of physical pain are also active when people report feeling rejected, ostracized, or excluded. This relationally-oriented pain, often nonconsious and underreported, is nonetheless associated with intense, often violent, automatic reactions, typically accompanied by the collapse of conscious, cognitive functioning. When this searing, silent pain operates at a group or societal level, we can glimpse the physiological processes we use, as humans, to regulate behaviors in our families, organizations, and communities. By thinking about this phenomenon, how can we better understand its fundamental role in human relationship systems as well as the challenges of managing such intense, reactive behavior?
This presentation will offer a framework for thinking about social pain, illustrated with examples from clinical and social life, including active possibilities for maturing, that is, for down-regulating automatic, destructive interpersonal reactivity.
