The struggle for power is the basic human experience. From the gods of Mt Olympus to the battle at the voting booth, men and women have demanded, "Who made you the boss of me?" The demands for autonomy and sovereignty are universal. We see it in the boardrooms of churches, community organizations, and our own families. Together, we will look at various theories of power from Freud to Alfred Adler to Dr. Phil. We can discover and uncover our own battles for power in relationships on all levels and in all arenas. To be able to act consciously, withdrawing from the battle of power, is to find a sense of peace and authority. Together, we will stumble forward and laugh at the foibles of others in our world—past and present. Perhaps we will discover a few foibles of our own.
