Attachment and Emotion in Family Therapy: Supporting Caregiver Engagement and Openness

As a national leader in clinical integration, The Family Institute at Northwestern University is hosting a virtual clinical series on attachment and emotion in family therapy as a sequel to the clinical summit in 2021.

Five leaders in the field will present their respective clinical approaches with a focus on supporting caregiver engagement and openness. The concluding session of the series will include all five presenters discussing similarities and unique aspects between their methods and the implications for the practice of family therapy.
