Clinical Conference

July 11, 2008
Repetitive Posturing and Reciprocity in Relationships when Moving Toward Self
Douglas Murphy, MA, MCMFT

9:30-3:30
Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church
3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, Washington, DC

The development of a solid self, and ability to recognize it often is confounded by the repetitive postures brought about by emotional process that take place with significant others. This clinical conference will explore the subtle identification with these postures by misidentifying them as “self.”

Thursday Professional Lecture

July 10, 2008
Updating the Unidisease Concept
Michael E. Kerr, MD, Director, The Bowen Center

7:30 PM
Georgetown Family Center

Dr. Kerr proposed that the unidisease model become a new concept in Bowen theory at the 2006 Annual Family Symposium. The plan was to publish a journal article about the concept. This remains a work in progress, but new facts are continually being discovered supporting the idea that all clinical diagnostic categories have important family emotional and biological processes in common. These processes are better predictors of clinical outcome than the particular diagnostic label. The presentation will update the current status of this concept.
