Abstract

Self-differentiation is the ability to stand on one's own and against the crowd, if necessary. A well self-defined person has clear goals, boundaries, and values. Low levels of self-differentiation negatively impact pastors ability to deal with manipulation, the herd-mentality, and relational conflict. Before and after a twelve week training course pastors were tested using three categories of Human Synergistic's Life Styles Inventory. The scores of thirty-eight percent of the pastors indicated growth in all three areas: self-actualization, a lessened need for the approval of others, and a willingness to deal with conflict.
