Hybrid Workshop - Virtual & in-person at ICP:

The Complicated World of Family Cutoffs:

Causes, Interventions, and a Deeper Understanding

with Tracey Ross, LCSW & Judy Aronowitz, LCSW

Thursday, February 1, 2024, 7:00-9:00pm

This event will be approved for 2 NYS CE credits

Family estrangement is extremely widespread, affecting millions of people regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or class. As therapists, whether we are working with individuals, couples, or families, the pain and impact is something we regularly encounter in our clinical work. Often there is internal conflict, particular meaning attached to the loss of the relationship(s), and inter-generational damage, that seeps into current relationships. With a deeper understanding of the causes, impact, and paths to repair, we as therapists can intervene to create lasting change and support individuals and families in finding a path forward.

We will take a deep dive into this phenomenon and look at the genogram of a family in order to deepen our understanding of the clinical material and examine the personal, relational, inter-generational, and multi-cultural aspects of this phenomena.
