An assessment would be considered incomplete that had been concluded without understanding family strengths, what previous challenges had been
experienced and how
past problems had been dealt with, and without a reasonably full understanding of how family members relate at an emotional level (that is,
affective responding — how distress is shown, comfort is provided and how they have fun together — and also the level of
affective involvement between its members — from close to distant).
This Web Conference will present central features of this treatment including the attitude of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) and the open and engaged,
affective - reflective dialogue that is utilized throughout explorations of
past traumas and current life
experiences.
