Former Director of Continuing Education for the International Neuropsychological Society (INS) 
Past President of the New York State Association of Neuropsychology (NYSAN)

The Dysfunctionality of Ego

When too much of a good thing becomes bad. Ego is the cause of conflict and aggression. We need to raise children to be less egocentric. We have not changed our child-rearing techniques to match our ever-changing behaviors involving technology, economics, and military capacity.

Imagine if each link in a chain had its own ego so that it was jealous or resentful of its neighboring link. The whole purpose of the chain would be defeated. Human beings are truly no different than these links in a chain. The future of human existence depends on the functionality of this chain. If the links oppose one another with aggression and war, human civilization will become extinct because it will have no purpose for survival.

Dr. Yozawitz will expand his remarks during the Destination Peace 24 Hour Day of Peace Broadcast.
