Description

 

Description: This conversation ranges widely across moral disengagement, self-efficacy, trauma, war, culture, and everyday ethical decision-making. Through audience questions and extended reflection, it examines how people justify harm, cope with violence and injustice, and regulate their behavior in personal, social, and political life. Therapists and students gain a rare, accessible window into how social psychology connects to PTSD, gendered violence, cultural values, procrastination, and the moral choices embedded in ordinary clinical and civic life.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To learn the philosophies of various practitioners and theorists.
