EP05 Conversation Hour 19 - Moral Disengagement in the Perpetration of Inhumanities - Albert Bandura, Ph.D.
This presentation examines the psychosocial mechanisms by which people selectively disengage moral self-sanctions from inhumane conduct. The moral disengagement may center on redefining inhumane conduct as a benign or socially worthy one by moral justification, sanitizing language and expedient comparison with worse cruelty; disavowal of personal agency in the harm one causes by diffusing or displacement of responsibility; disregarding or minimizing the injurious effects of one's actions and dehumanizing those who are victimized and blaming them for bringing the suffering on themselves. Given the many mechanisms for disengaging moral control at individual and collective levels, civilized life requires in addition to human personal standard, safeguards built into social systems that uphold compassionate behavior and renounce cruelty.
This presentation will be a discussion of existential psychotherapy and of group psychotherapy drawing especially from Yalom's new teaching novel, The Schopenhauer Cure.

Dr. Yalom will sign books after his presentation in the Arena Lobby.

EP05 Workshop 34 - A New Leadership Role for Mental Health Professionals - William Glasser, M.D.
The leadership role in mental health has been assumed by psychiatrists who diagnose mental illnesses that do not exist and treat them with potentially harmful brain drugs. Dr. Glasser will explain that mental health separate from mental illness does exist if we could change from the mental illness model to a new public health model based on mental health. This will allow psychotherapists to assume a leadership role they don't have now.
