Mother-Daughter Relationship Through the Group’s “Halls of Mirrors”

Chair:           

Shoshana Ben-Noam, Psy.D., CGP, Faculty, Eastern Group Psychotherapy

Society Training Program, New York, New York

 

Mother-daughter interaction originates the daughter's development of a "relational self." This all-women experiential workshop will examine the impact of mothers on daughters' emotional, interpersonal and professional life. Participants' "here & now" interactions will provide a "hall of mirrors" for observing members' various aspects of the self. Conflicts in this core relationship and ways to resolutions will be addressed.
