Whether it manifests as dysthymia, personality disorders, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse or other symptoms, dysfunctional power practices seem to be at the core of many people’s difficulties in creating the lives they want. As a therapist for over 25 years and a clinical supervisor for over 20 years, I have had the amazing honor of being involved in the treatment of more than three thousand individuals. Among these widely diverse people, ineffective attempts to be powerful have emerged as a nearly universal difficulty. Any difficulty so common cannot really be called pathological. I found myself wondering what forces were at work to create this nearly universal problem with power.
