International Conference on Couple, Child and Family Therapy

Encountering the Slippery Slope in Psychoanalytic Family Therapy

(March 28-30, 2008)

Therapists who work in-depth with families must be prepared for the slippery slope of the family unconscious. The papers and presentations at this conference featured American and international contributions on the clinical practice of psychoanalytic family therapy. The conference format included daily small group discussions, conference participant and presenter dialogues, and panel discussions, so that working in depth could be affectively and intellectually taken in and processed. Keynote presentations were by Molly Ludlam (Scotland), Andrew Balfour (London), Qijia Shi (China), David and Jill Scharff (Washington DC) and Michael Stadter (Washington DC).
