Presenter: Roya R. Rad, MA, PsyD

Time and Date: September 11,  2010

Location:  Vienna, VA

Subject:  Psychology of peace.  Outer peace starts with inner peace.  Concepts like wholeness, shadow, ego,
higher self, and self actualization will be discussed to bring the audience to a level of awareness of the evolved
self for the process of self discovery and growth.

There is so much separation in the world that we wonder if we can ever have a sense of global concord.  United
we can stand, divided we all will fall.   Israelis and Palestinians, India and Pakistan, governments and insurgents,
Protestants and Catholics, whites and blacks, labor and management, Muslim and West.  All of these are
examples of conflicts that are created by humans forming their identities. But these limited identities need to
expand and include more people.   

This presentation examines: (1) the characteristics of various kinds of identities, (2) how particular qualities of
collective identities contribute to a conflict becoming intractable, (3) what shapes collective identities, and (4)
how such identities can be modified and assimilated to help
transform and resolve intractable conflicts.   It also discusses that the only  us vs. them  is  moderation vs.
radicalism.

Presenter: Roya R. Rad, MA, PsyD  

Time and Date: June 29, 2010

Location: Bahrain, Manama

Subject:  Empowering women to empower their children.  A child who feels a sense of inner power does not have
a need to act out or become defiant, violent, or destructive.  A repressed child, may act out negatively.

Identity conflict and Middle Eastern youths.  Educating the public about this subject is vital to opening the door
to progress and change.  The key element in planting the seed of change is the role that a mother plays in these
youths' upbringing.  The empowered woman can project her power to her children.  The power has to be coming
from within and psychology can help.

Subject: Healthy vs. Unhealthy relationships.  

Subject:  Healthy vs. Unhealthy Relationship.  When it comes to relationships, we are imperfect beings who will
make mistakes. We need to find ways to learn from our mistakes, make reasonable compromises where our core
values are not threaten, learn to respect our self and others, and make healthy connections rather than anxious
attachments.  

A flourishing connection is mutually respectful, interdependent but not co dependent, and life enhancing.  It
gives you a feeling of being nurtured and cared for and you give the same feeling back.  In order for a
relationship to be healthy, the element of compatibility must be present.

In addition, this session  discusses what it means to be in an unhealthy relationship, one in which one
experiences other’s constant  acts of being disrespectful, uncommitted and abusive or obsessed.  When one feels
unsafe  in a relationship, it is usually not healthy for the person to stay in that position without taking steps to
solve the issue at hand.
