About this Event
This is the registration form for the Virtual 2024-2025 Clinical Conference Series Package (this includes four virtual friday conferences out of the full six in the series). You will be paying $400 (a savings of 20% for the four conferences).
The Clinical Conferences are designed to assist professional people in the pursuit of clinical excellence. Using presentations, videotaped interviews with family members, and ample discussion time, the conferences illustrate the interplay of theory and technique for a variety of human issues. The goals of each conference are to illustrate the application of Bowen theory in practice and to enhance people’s understanding of differentiation of self.
The following FOUR ONLINE FRIDAY Clinical Conferences are included in the package discount: (*The package does not include the two remaining clinical conferences that are hybrid on Thursdays before the Fall Symposium and the Spring Conference). To sign up for those, and purchase each individually.

Title: The Impact of Cutoff Across Generations
Description: Cutoff, one of eight concepts in Bowen theory, addresses the management of tension in families through severing contact or maintaining superficial relationships. This day will explore several dimensions of cutoff in a power point presentation, including its impact across generations by limiting an individual’s access to resources, relationships, and information about the extended family. Two individual’s efforts to work on differentiation through bridging cutoffs in their families will be discussed in videotaped interviews.
#3 of Package: Friday, March 7, 2025 - ONLINE
Presenter: Jennifer Long, MDiv
Title: Differentiation of Self and Clergy Life
Description: What difference does work on differentiation of self make in the functioning of an individual or organization over time? Does that work impact a faith leader’s work in the faith community? Is differentiation of self the same in the family and faith community? Does the work on self in one area transfer or translate to the other? This conference will explore these questions in the life of one clergy member. It will look at the work of differentiation and the impact in two groups, family and congregation.
