Authors: Wendy B. Rosen, Maureen Walker, Ph.D.

This practice-oriented casebook shows how relational-cultural theory (RCT) translates into therapeutic action. The book explains key concepts of RCT and demonstrates their application with diverse individuals, couples, families, and groups, as well as in institutional settings. Emphasizing that relationship is the work of therapy, case narratives illuminate both the therapist and client factors that promote or interfere with movement toward connection. Highlighted are the ways in which cultural contexts profoundly influence relationships; how growthful connection inevitably includes conflict; and how experienced therapists work on a moment-by-moment basis to engage with and counteract personal and cultural forces of disconnection.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=”” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” video=”” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”335″ qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Getting to the Truths About Race: Reflections on the Politics of Connection in The Help

Part I. “Getting to the truths about race…and the stories we tell along the way” by Maureen Walker, Ph.D.

Although good intentions may be necessary, they are never sufficient to sustain an authentic conversation about race. Because shame and anxiety are endemic to racially stratified cultures, what may start as well-intentioned discourse typically devolves into dread, recrimination, or escapist sentimentality. Using the best-selling novel The Help as a focal point, this paper discusses the critical relational capacities required to facilitate movement toward new relational possibilities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=”” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” video=”” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”339″ qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Racial Images and Relational Possibilities (Digital)

Jean Baker Miller Training Institute (JBMTI)

Authors: Maureen Walker, Ph.D., Jean Baker Miller, M.D.

This conversation deals with some of the psychological consequences of structured inequities for those socially defined as “more than” as well as those defined as “less than.” Using Relational-Cultural Theory’s concepts, the talk illustrates how racial and other social or economic inequities interfere with the mutual openness to influence, which is the source of growth. The speakers also discuss the interrelationship of “controlling images” and relational images.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=”” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” video=”” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”333″ qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]The Complexity of Connection Writings from the Stone Center’s Jean Baker Miller Training Institute

Edited by Judith V. Jordan, Maureen Walker, and Linda M. Hartling

In this important third volume from the Stone Center at Wellesley College, founding scholars and new voices expand and deepen the Center’s widely embraced psychological theory of connection as the core of human growth and development. The volume presents an absorbing and practical examination of connection and disconnection at both individual and societal levels. Chapters explore how experiences of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, and gender influence relationships, and how people can connect across difference and disagreement. Also discussed are practical implications of the theory for psychotherapy, for the raising of sons, and for workplace and organizational issues.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” video=”” padding_top=”25″ padding_bottom=”25″ css_animation=””][vc_column][qbutton size=”big_large_full_width” target=”_self” font_weight=”” text=”Click here to see more of Maureen’s previous events” link=”https://maureenwalker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Additional-Publications.pdf”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=”” css_animation=””][vc_column][action full_width=”yes” content_in_grid=”yes” type=”normal” show_button=”yes” background_color=”#bcd4e6″ button_text=”Contact Maureen” button_link=”https://maureenwalker.com/contact/” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_hover_text_color=”#ffffff” button_background_color=”#517693″ button_hover_background_color=”#006db0″ button_border_color=”#517693″]Hire Maureen for your next workshop, conference, or speaking event.[/action][/vc_column][/vc_row]
