I AM A GREEK CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER IN NEW YORK WHO IS IN FULL-TIME PRIVATE PRACTICE. MY INTEREST AT THIS TIME IS IN WRITING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENTAL STRUGGLES OF CHILDREN GROWING UP IN GREEK-AMERICAN FAMILIES, WITH PARTICULAR INTEREST IN THE CULTURAL NARCISSISM THAT APPEARS TO COMPLICATE THE RESOLUTION OF OUR SEPARATION/AUTONOMY ISSUES. (THAT'S A LITTLE PSYCHOBABBLE FOR "WE GREEK KIDS SOMETIMES HAVE A PARTICULARLY TOUGH TIME GROWING UP, AND I WANT TO FIGURE OUT WHY.") I AM ASKING FOR ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS SUCH AS, "WHEN YOU COMPARE YOUR EXPERIENCES IN GROWING UP AND BECOMING INDEPENDENT OF YOUR PARENTS WITH THE EXPERIENCES OF YOUR NON-GREEK FRIENDS, WHAT DO YOU THINK WERE THE DIFFERENCES, IF ANY?" AND "AS A GREEK KID, DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WORRIED MORE ABOUT DISAPPOINTING YOUR PARENTS THAN NON-GREEK KIDS DID - AND, IF SO, WHY?"
