It has been 50 years since General Systems Theory revolutionized psychotherapy. Yet it never became a real science, and the therapies it produced were either never evaluated or, when studied, produced only weak effects. We can now scientifically complete general systems theory and show that the new theory does result in highly effective couples and family therapy.

At the heart of psychotherapy is the idea that listening to someone is an inherently healing act. Can an understanding of the grammar of music help us better understand the grammar of how patients communicate? Can Mozart help transform how we listen? Join NPR and PBS commentator Rob Kapilow [or conductor/composer/author--whichever you think is better] for a unique exploration inside the language of music to see if it can help us learn to listen like Mozart.

Chronic frustrations in adult significant relationships that are attended with intense negative emotions are rooted in unmet childhood needs. Identifying these needs helps partners become empathic with each other and also understand their own obsessive behavior. This demonstration will show clinicians how to identify early caretaker patterns, the unmet needs that result from them, the defense patterns used to cope with them and a process that will help address these needs as they show up in everyday life.
Hypnosis is a vehicle for delivering ideas and/or promoting meaningful experiential learning. Hypnosis itself isn't what cures people. Rather, it's what happens during hypnosis that can make a positive difference, especially when applied to empower people to discover and use their innate resources. In this demonstration, the merits of hypnosis as a tool of therapeutic empowerment will be highlighted.
