We have come far since Jay Haley, founder of Strategic Family Therapy, wrote a useful, “unself-help” article on this topic decades ago. Building on his paper, tonight’s talk adds current research about the science of marriage and love. The presenter will further highlight psychoanalytic and cultural perspectives. With a 53% divorce rate in the U.S., increasing our understanding of this issue and, by contrast, its solutions, is work for us all.

She has over 35 years of clinical experience, has advance couples training at the Gottman Institute, the Cambridge Family Institute and the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
