The Process of Differentiation
Michael E. Kerr, MD
9:30-3:30
Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church
3401 Nebraska Avenue NW, Washington, DC (see link above for directions)
Bowen often described differentiation as a way of thinking that translates into a way of being. Differentiation is not a technique, but comes from the ability to see important relationship systems in a more factual way. The objectivity promotes emotional neutrality and when combined with action leads to constructive change for one’s self and the family. This day will illustrate variations and similarities between the efforts of different individuals to develop more of a self.
