Ben Rader:
Ben is a graduate of Adler University in Chicago Illinois and has established himself in the Milwaukee area since acquiring his doctorate in 2008. He is the current director of the psychology center and institute of training at Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology and has a private practice in the area, Psychological Purposes.
Ben completed his dissertation in 2008 which was on resilience in a homeless population, as organized around the theoretical constructs of Individual Psychology. He has worked extensively in community settings, including small town, rural, and the inner city. His community work has included work with families, refugees, and persons with chronic mental illness. He has served as a mental health consultant for social service agencies and in school settings where he has served in Head Start classrooms. Research interests include Trans-Cultural Psychology, social exclusion, spirituality, anti-racism, and resilience.
Ben’s approach to working with clients is founded in the Adlerian tradition which views humans as creative and active beings who define themselves and find purpose relative to their past and current social contexts.
Ethics are included in the conference! We are excited to have Ben Rader present our Ethics portion of the conference as well this year! Ben’s Ethics training is wonderful! He will train on ethical boundaries. The title of the ethics portion is Who and What am I doing this for?: Navigating Boundaries in Service Roles.
