Our program is:

Main Talk: Mirrors and Sunlight: Dealing with Emotional Vampires /​ Guy Banay

We will learn how to recognize the Dramatic Personality Disorders (antisocial, borderline, narcissistic and histrionic) and some strategies to minimize the damage they can do.

Backup Talk: TBA

Rump Session: each participant will give a 4-minute talk (+3 minute encore if we applaud hard enough). Giving a talk isn’t mandatory, but it’s highly recommended. Not confident that what you have to say is relevant to our interests? Unsure about your public speaking skills? Doesn’t matter—in the rump session, anything goes.
