Weinstein Auditorium in Wright Hall
Cultural identity formation is a complex and layered process that involves intrapsychic, interpersonal and sociocultural understandings of individuals and communities. Individuals experience both choice and constraint in the development of cultural identity, and this process is fluid and dynamic throughout the lifespan. This lecture focuses on addressing the complexity of cultural identity formation within the confines of social oppression and trauma, and within open spaces of exploration both within and outside of the therapeutic relationship. The lecture will provide a lens into the patient’s and therapist’s dilemmas of facing choice and constraint in identity and relationship.
