Charles Rojzman, a renowned French social psychologist, author, and international consultant, invented Transformational Social Therapy twenty years ago as a method for transforming institutions by helping people address the hatred and violence that separate them and prevent them from working together. Rojzman has been introducing professionals in the Philadelphia region to Transformational Social Therapy through the GCDL at Temple since 2009. For a brief description of Transformational Social Therapy by Charles Rojzman on video, please click here. Rojzman gave the keynote address at Temple Unviersity on June 20, 2012 to members of the Pennylvania Association of Liaisons and Officers of Multicultural Affairs.
