DESCRIPTION

Our goal for the 2011 Institute is to educate, entertain, and challenge our members to join the revolution for change. As part of that, we adopted The Beatles' song "Revolution" as our theme. In addition to the amazing guitar licks, the words are an inspiration. When we talk about change, we are focusing on inspiring lawyers, judges, and experts to bring back respect and dignity to the legal processes around family issues.

KICK-OFF TO THE 2011 FAMILY LAW INSTITUTEWith Headliner Alec Baldwin

ABOUT THE KICK-OFF:This year, for the first time, we are including a kick-off to the Institute, a/k/a “The Kick-Off to theRevolution.” The headliner is Alec Baldwin, who authored the book, "A Promise to Ourselves"

in which he shares his very personal story of being a party to a dissolutioncase, the sometimes unbearable expectations and loss imposed by oursystem, and the lasting damage the players can do to a family goingthrough this process. He is going to share his experience with you, and theexperiences of others who have had to endure the same fate, and throughit challenge each of us to not only listen but take the next steps requiredto make real changes in our profession and in the legal system. Mr. Baldwingenerously suggested that we make the event a fund raiser – alsorevolutionary! We are pleased to announce that the proceeds of the Kick-off will benefit the Legal Aid Foundation.

■ This is akin to an intervention – a hard core look at ourselves and what we and our system have become.

■ Who else but Alec Baldwin could look us in the eye and tell us how damaging our system has become, what we are doing wrong, and motivate us to make the necessary changes?

2011 ANNUAL FAMILY LAW INSTITUTE

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP

The Pre-Conference Workshop, “Assessment andTreatment of Families When Children are

Alienated, Estranged, and/or Resist Contact,”provides an intensive focus on theory, assessment,diagnosis, and research on reasons that children resistcontact with a parent. Children resist or refuse contact inhigh conflict divorcing families for a myriad of reasonsincluding parental alienation, estrangement, and/or otherkinds of parenting problems. This workshop will emphasizetreatment including guiding principles and a frameworkfor work with these families. The field has moved forwardsignificantly since the days of Gardner, the advent of Kellyand Johnston et al’s work in 2001, to a recent review of theresearch by Saini, Johnston, Fidler, and Bala (in press).Those things that we have learned in the past over adecade can guide the court, attorneys, mental healthprofessionals, and parents to help children find safe waysto connect or re-connect with parents after the status oftheir family changes from being intact to divorced.

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP TOPICS:Assessment and Treatment of Families When Children are Alienated, Estranged, and/or Resist Contact:■ The ins and outs of assessment

• Without a good assessment and findings, treatment will not work• Pure alienation vs. pure estrangement vs. hybrids• Contextual and individual variables• Gatekeeping: Facilitative, restrictive, protective• The research can teach courts, lawyers, and mental health professionals about how to identify the root causes of a child’s resistance to spend time with a parent or rejection of a parent

■ The ins and outs of treatment• The importance of safe contact• Guiding principles and the framework for working with the dynamics of alienation and/or

estrangement (accountability, buy-in of both the “in” and “out” parent, measurable treatment goals, and case management vs. treatment)

• Is alienation a monolithic concept and thus, is there only one treatment for it? And is there only one kind of estrangement and thus, only one kind of treatment for it?

• Treatment approaches (Multimodal Family Therapy, dyadic work, structural family therapy, concentrated programs like Overcoming Barriers)

• Lessons that the research teaches us about the treatment of families when children are alienated, estranged, and/or resist contact

FACULTY PROFILE: Leslie M. Drozd, Ph.D.Dr. Drozd is an expert in working with families who have issues of alienation and/or abuse. She has been inpractice in Newport Beach, CA, for 30 years, speaks at both national and international conferences, is a well-published author, and, the editor of the “Journal of Child Custody.” Her upcoming book with Oxford UniversityPress is titled “Parenting Plan Evaluations: Applied Research for the Family Court.”

Our goal for the 2011 Institute is to educate, entertain,and challenge our members to join the revolution for

change. As part of that, we adopted The Beatles’ song"Revolution" as our theme. In addition to the amazing guitar licks, thewords are an inspiration. When we talk about change, we are focusing on inspiringlawyers, judges, and experts to bring back respect and dignity to the legal processes aroundfamily issues. We are also focusing on new ways to deal with substantive law issues, suchas working around the "double-dip” case law, finding new resources to support imputingincome to unemployed executives, and challenging the assumptions and impositions ofcookie-cutter 50-50 parenting plans. Also included in the theme of "change" are a fewnew components of the Family Law Institute. For example, the ever-popular “Hot Topics”are back, but this time they are being presented by judges. We also have more networkingopportunities, including a cocktail reception Saturday evening. And, for the first time ever,we are having a “kick-off to the Institute” Thursday evening in Denver.

Please join us for the revolution, and have some fun along the way!
