Achieving Health Without Loss of Self:
Managing One’s Self in the Health Care System
Beatrice Flynn, MS, APRN, CSP
9:30-3:30
Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church
3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
Bowen theory offers a way of thinking about illness, hospitalization, and recovery. It includes an understanding about the importance of standing on one’s own principles in the face of intensity and well- intentioned “helpers. Often, even seasoned professionals lose sight of the optimal outcome: health without loss of self. This conference will consider Bowen theory as a means of connecting and guiding the many facets of care that contribute to recovery. This conference is especially pertinent for health care professionals, chaplains, and families coping with a chronic or acute illness.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: A Bowen Family Systems View
Shelly Fine, MA, LHMC, Private Practitioner
7:30 PM
Georgetown Family Center
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be explored from its beginnings in the late 1800s up to present day using Bowen family systems. It is postulated that the two protagonists have been locked in an overfunctioning/underfunctioning reciprocity that has been reinforced by the triangling of primarily, Britain, Russia/Soviet Union, and the United States. Terrorism has been the result.
