Couples Conference 2018
Attachment, Differentiation, and Neuroscience in Couples Therapy
Held May 4-6, 2018 in Oakland, CA
The Couples Conferences have become a leading vehicle for learning the applica- tions of the latest research on facilitating treatment with couples. At this Conference, you will learn from leading-edge theorists and practitioners as they define, describe and discuss differing approaches that initially promote closeness and those that move toward managing difference and facilitating differentiation. By the end of this Conference, you will have advanced and refined your own thinking about how to approach the challenge of facilitating intimacy.
