Clinical Conference

May 9, 2008
Individual Differences in Working
on Differentiation of Self
Louise Rauseo, RN, MS, CS

9:30-3:30
Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church
3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, Washington, DC

People come to therapy to “grow up”and be a more mature “self” from many different life experiences, family systems and emotional programming. Bowen theory helps people define steps people take to move toward a better level of differentiation. The therapist is faced with trying to understand the unique challenges represented in the family system and emotional process of each clinical situation. This day will examine the way Bowen theory addresses the individual differences present in clinical families.

Thursday Professional Lecture

May 8, 2008
Grandparent Rights and the Law
Marilyn Klawiter, PhD, JD

7:30 PM
Georgetown Family Center

Do grandparents have a right to see their grandchildren? Whether they do is a matter of the law of the state in which the children live. In 2000, the Supreme Court, in Troxel v. Granville, held a Washington visitation statute unconstitutional. Almost immediately, parents elsewhere began challenging their states’ grandparent visitation statutes, with widely differing results. This lecture will focus on one such case, litigated in Michigan and Colorado.
