Event Description

Dr. Lee uses biofeedback data to make protocols of children's physiological responses. She uses these protocols to unravel how children who present with symptoms and problems are responding to their parents' invisible conflicts in family therapy settings. She then helps parents understand their children's symptoms in a completely different context by making the symptoms and problems visible data in an invisible relationship. Over the past few years, ACTA has been learning about the dynamics of children, families, and couples. This is a rare opportunity to learn firsthand from Dr. Lee's biofeedback-based family therapy techniques how to translate highly specialized and objective data into effective interventions to understand and change child and family dynamics. "East meets West," Dr. Lee from Asia and Dr. Finn from the U.S. have a great overlap in what is important to share with us. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn from Dr. Lee. Whether you are a newcomer to ACTA workshops, a family therapist, or an international participant, join us for three days of remote learning with Dr. Lee!
