Program Focus and Goals
The 24th National Conference on the Self and Family, April 6-9, 2010, offers a unique opportunity to join exceptional speakers and
trainers in an intensive study of the individual and the family
system impacted by a range of disruptive behaviors,
addictive disorders and mental illnesses. Pathways to wellness
and personal growth will also be explored. We will
examine the individual and the family from a myriad of perspectives
including individual experiences, couples dynamics
and multi-generational patterns. We will identify
effective and innovative intervention strategies through indepth
analysis of disruptive, compulsive and addictive
behaviors. Traditional as well as alternative counseling and
therapeutic topics will be addressed. Woven throughout
will be an examination of the quest for meaning and the
roles that transcendence and spirituality play in our lives. View keynotes and workshops in our conference brochure.
