Male Homosexuality and Differentiation of Self: Managing the Process and Associated Challenges

Presenter: Kent Webb, LCSW, PCC

The process of Differentiation of Self will be described as it’s generally experienced by gay men. Important biological, social and familial variables are identified that influence the process. The components of Solid Self and Pseudo Self are a focus as they provide a lens for observing the development process of identifying and living life as a gay man. 5 stages of gay male development will be presented that reflect the processes of differentiation of self and related solid self-pseudo self-formation.

The conference day provides a maximum of 4.5 hours of Category I continuing education credit for social workers and for counselors. Please note- a separate registration is required for CEU/CEs.
