- This talk examines the global rise of patriarchy and its impact on intimate relationships, highlighting how anti-relational culture contributes to high failure rates in long-term partnerships. The speaker presents Relational Life Therapy (RLT) as a solution, built on three phases: loving confrontation, trauma work, and skill-building. Emphasizing the need to teach relational skills in schools, the approach addresses both individual challenges—like grandiosity and shame—and broader systemic influences to build healthier, more connected relationships.

- Short Description:
- This presentation addresses how otherwise good people can do cruel things. They do so through selective disengagement of moral self-sanctions from inhumane conduct. At the behavior locus, worthy ends are used to sanctify harmful means by social and moral justification. At the agency locus, people obscure personal responsibility by displacement and diffusion of responsibility. At the outcomes locus, the detrimental social effects of one’s actions are ignored, minimized, or disrupted. At the victim locus, perpetrators dehumanize and blame recipients for bringing the maltreatment on themselves. These mechanisms operate at both individual and social systems levels. Disengagement of moral agency is illustrated in the workings of the corporate world, terrorism, the use of military force, application of the death penalty, and in ecological destruction that is heating the planet and making it less habitable.

- Minuchin reflects on how family therapy has evolved alongside shifting political and cultural tides. He contrasts early structural models with later constructivist approaches, noting how each reflects assumptions about power, class, and expertise. Using a case of a mother navigating child welfare systems, he illustrates the complexities of working with underserved families and calls for culturally responsive, socially aware interventions that don’t ignore systemic constraints.

- The enormous changes brought about in the last 25 years by the women's movement and the sex role revolution have opened new possibilities and problems-sources of conflict and new strengths for women, men and families. There is a challenge now for psychotherapists to break through their own remnant stereotypes of feminine mystique, masculine mystique, and obsolete assumptions about family so that they may distinguish between personal and political pathology and help evolving women, men and families find and use more consciously their new strengths and confront real problems realistically.
