Parental Alienation Training with Nancy Olesen

May 8-9, 2009 * Missouri State University in Springfield, MO

Sponsored by the Greene County Family Court and the Center for Dispute Resolution

Dr. Nancy Olesen, Ph.D, a nationally recognized speaker and presenter, will be speaking at the 2009 AFCC National Conference in New Orleans. This is your opportunity to learn about parental alienation from her in Springfield, Missouri! Dr. Olesen has worked in private practice for more than 20 years, with an emphasis on child abuse and neglect, custody and access disputes and the interface between clinical and forensic psychology. She has been involved in research regarding psychological testing in custody evaluations and regarding families undergoing custody evaluation. She has co written and taught professional workshops about the analysis of child alienation and family abuse.

This workshop will address ways to differentiate alienation of children from abuse and domestic violence, and how to recognize the cases that are mixed in the causal factors. It will also address interventions that are being developed to treat families in which alienation is the cause of the child’s resistance to contact with one of his or her parents.

This training was to be offered for $300, but is now reduced to $150. (Members of the Dispute Resolution Network of the Ozarks recieve a 10% discount as well.)
