Description:
Personal identity is a crucial guide to the way people live their lives.

Conceptual elaboration will be joined with live therapy sessions, showing how concepts connect with therapeutic work.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how to recognize the diversity within one's self which people must integrate.
- To describe how to help people to identify with dimmed parts of the self.
