Author: Judith V. Jordan, Ph.D.

This paper was originally presented at the April 2000 Learning from Women Conference sponsored by the Harvard Medical School and the Jean Baker Miller Training Institute. It explores the ways in which marginalization and the use of power-over maneuvers and privilege contribute to disconnection at a personal and societal level. Strength in vulnerability is proposed as an alternative to strength in isolation. The author suggests that courage is created in connection and the distorting effects of the myth of the separate-self must be challenged in order to appreciate the power of connection. This paper examines specific ways to resist the disconnecting and disempowering effects of hyper-individualistic values both in and out of therapy.
