This panel will consider a broad range of issues involving Enneagram Type and Illness. We will investigate the possibility of any significant correlations between Enneagram types and specific conditions, as well as the effect of type and instinctual variants on manifestations of illness. The significant relationship of Enneagram Type and variants on personal management of illness, as well as transference issues in therapeutic relationships will also be explored. This is largely unexplored territory, and input by attendees with personal or professional interest in the area will be most valued.
