Description
Current events in both the secular and professional worlds
have exposed the problem of the abuse of power and the
deception that both accompanies it and keeps it hidden. It
is critical as therapists that we understand power and how
it is abused, as well as both deceptions of self and others.
This plenary will also consider the impact of these things
on the Church and ways to both think about and respond
to them.
Presented by: Diane Langberg, Ph.D.
