Topic: Parenting: Development and Psychotherapy

Our conference this year focuses on parents. What roles do parents play as their children grow? What changes must they make to cope with developmental changes in their children and adolescents; with social changes; with familial changes such as divorce, separation or adoption? What is the role of parents when children need psychotherapy? What social and community factors support parenting or interfere with it?

We are pleased to announce two outstanding keynote speakers.
