FRIDAY EVENING LECTURE SERIES

Therapeutic Reunification: A Connection-Focused Model for Fractured Families
Dr. Rebecca Bailey, PSY
Jane Dickel, LCSW
Cynthia Psaila, LMFT
This presentation will define the concept of Therapeutic Reunification and outline who can benefit from this intensive process, including families fractured from high conflict or families struggling to recover from trauma scenarios including familial abduction, stranger abduction, and post-war veteran reunification. A brief review of the literature will explain the evolution of this approach and the research behind treatment-resistant populations. There will be a special focus on how Therapeutic Reunification differs from traditional outpatient therapy; including the implementation of an experiential, solution-focused, culturally sensitive approach. An overview of the essential components to the Transitioning Families Therapeutic Reunification Model (TFTRM) will include some case examples and practical applications for mental health professionals, as well as touch on common pitfalls well-meaning professionals can avoid when working within challenging family systems.
Presenters: Each member of the Transitioning Families team has extensive experience working with a variety of challenging families. Together they share the ultimate goal of assisting families in transitioning from crisis, challenge or conflict to connection and growth. The diversity of their experience has led them to the assumption that, although traditional therapeutic techniques have a place, there are other psycho-educational and experiential methods that help families grow and thrive. The team members have strong psychodynamic therapy backgrounds which they use in a more direct psycho-educational, even didactic approach. Dr. Rebecca Bailey, PSY is Program Director, Jane Dickel, LCSW and Senior Clinician, and Cynthia Psaila, LMFT and Associate Director are the central clinical treatment professionals at Transitioning Families.
