1st talk of the 2023-2024 NECET Conference Series by Robin Chalfin, LICSW & Bob Fox, LICSW. Response by M. Mookie L. Manalili, LICSW

Robin Chalfin and Bob Fox will co-present the first talk on evolutions in ethical practice by challenging the polarity between idealized selflessness and demonized selfishness in myth, philosophy, and psychology. Bob will begin by untangling ethics from illusions of the separate self in the history of Western philosophy and psychotherapy. While he will look primarily at the problems of grandiosity and self-absorption, Robin will explore its polarity – too little self, loss of self, and the idealization and absorption in the other via a feminist and relational reconstruction of the myth of Echo and Narcissus.
