This 2-day workshop provides a theory-based framework for conceptualizing family systems in bereavement, introducing such processes as disenfranchised grief, emotional shockwaves, relational coregulation and mirroring, and provides hands-on experience with relevant assessment and therapeutic techniques.  Learners will have an opportunity to reflect on the relation between their own family experiences and their personal grieving styles, evaluate family members’ perception of social support for meaning making in loss, and implement both reflective and dialogical procedures for taking perspective on the positions of self and others in the relational network and promoting their transformation.
