Power is considered in the context of key relationships\, such as supervisor-trainee and therapist-patient\, and how it influences interactions and behavior. It encompasses what humans are capable of—beyond the roles they take on or are assigned. \nThe program delves into how those in positions of authority engage with others\, whether through their roles or their mere presence in a shared space. It emphasizes that when power is exercised with the heart and mind aligned\, it has the potential to create fairness for others. This fairness allows for freedom of choice\, a capacity that is both innate and influenced by the presence or absence of power dynamics. \nAt its core\, the program defines power as the ability to exercise choice—whether in words or actions—without it becoming contingent on whether those in authority allow or restrict it. Through this exploration\, participants will gain insight into how power shapes relationships and decision-making in profound ways. \nI Put a Spell on You: \nDuring and post Covid\, internet scams have proliferated. This paper will 1) investigate the dynamics of need and greed that bind the isolated dyad in a scam 2) elaborate how two senses need to be \nactivated to make the scam possible 3) review decades of literature on scammers that confirm the requisite personal qualities of a successful scammer and 4) raise awareness about how under certain circumstances\, we humans can be exploited.

SUMMARY:New Directions: Can We Talk?
DESCRIPTION:Weekend Conference \nThis weekend will explore the obstacles that stand in our way when we try to talk together about difficult topics. When strong pent-up emotions rise to the surface\, whether anger\, fear\, grief\, anxiety or rage\, we easily get overheated\, defensive or shut down. We turn away\, defeated\, shamed or vengeful. At this moment in history\, it can often seem like we are losing ourselves and our ability to reach one another in meaningful ways\, caught in the current of unprocessed individual and global grief. Whether racism\, classism\, gender\, political leanings or moral positions\, we can often get mired in miscommunications and retreat to our own stances\, unheard and unhearing. This weekend we will focus our attention on opening up the difficult conversations. \nCoordinators:  Anne Adelman\, Ph.D. and Melanie Hatter \nAnne J.
