Betsy Scott, Ph.D.
In this presentation intended for parents, Betsy Scott, Ph.D., a therapist and faculty member at The Family Institute at Northwestern University, responds to the former U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory, Parents Under Pressure, with a discussion around the concept called "Differentiation of Self." While originally coined in 1967 by Murray Bowen, a psychiatrist turned family therapist, in relation to family therapists in their professional work, Dr. Scott shares several parallels that can be drawn for parents as they work to understand, show up for, and support themselves as well as their children and loved ones.
