Conference description:

Popular approaches to relationship counseling emphasize improving communication and trying harder to understand and meet the needs of our partners. Such approaches lead themselves to the view that personal unhappiness in marriage is the fault of our partner for failing to meet our needs. Bowen family systems theory offers a different approach. How do we maintain who we are as a person when in a committed relationship without destroying the relationship? How do we enhance the relationship without losing ourselves in the process? This conference will illustrate some of the differences between conventional approaches to marital difficulties and the fundamentals of relationship from the perspective of Bowen theory. The conference will include a discussion of conflict in relationships and ideas about how to address it.

 

This conference is for anyone who would like to better understand the challenges of living in a committed relationship. This includes clinicians, family and marital therapists, clergy, health care professionals, physicians, lawyers, educators, and, of course, people in a committed relationship or who want to be in a committed relationship.

 

Samaritan Counseling is pleased to have Dr. Daniel Papero as our speaker for this conference. Dr. Papero is on the faculty at The Bowen Center for Study of the Family, Washington, DC. He speaks about innovative ways to address the many challenges facing individuals, couples & families today. Dr. Papero is the author of Bowen Family Systems Theory. Visit www.thebowencenter.org.
