Judith Wallerstein: The Future of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy

Abstract: What lessons have we learned about child and adolescent treatment?
What are the critical treatment needs of California's children and
families? This program will offer an opportunity to hear from one of
the leading authorities on this critical policy and practice issue
facing mental health clinicians and social service professionals
today.

Dr. Wallerstein is an authority on the effects of divorce on
children and their families. She is the co-author of the bestseller,
_The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce_ (Hyperion, 2000) and _The Good
Marriage: How and Why Love Lasts_ (Houghton Mifflin, 1995). Her
newest book _What About the Kids-Raising Children Before, During, and
After Divorce_ is being published in 2003 by Hyperion Press. Dr.
Wallerstein is the founder of the Judith Wallerstein Center for the
Family in Transition, nationally known for its research, education,
and counseling for families in separation, divorce and remarriage.

Dr. Wallerstein will be in conversation with Mary Ann Mason, Ph.D.,
J.D. Dr. Mason is a Professor of Social Welfare at the University of
California, Berkeley, and since 2000 has served as the Dean of the
Graduate Division at Berkeley. She publishes and lectures nationally
on child and family law matters, the history of the American family
and on childhood, and public policy issues related to child custody,
children's rights, and stepfamilies.
