New! Excerpt from Dr Gayle Peterson's upcoming book
What to Expect Before you are Expecting: Questions every parent should ask before having a baby

Communication and Problem Solving
Effective communication between family members is not just a 'good idea', but a basic human need. The satisfaction we can enjoy from our family relationships, the success or failure of our marriages and even our physical health depend upon it.
Promoting Healthy Family Relationships
Purpose of Family: to provide a container to effectively nurture the growth and development of each of its members throughout the life cycle.



Continuing Education Programs for Professionals

Making Healthy Families
Making Healthy Families examines the creation and growth of healthy, functional families throughout developmental stages of the family life cycle. Family life stages, from "Becoming a Couple," to "Becoming Parents," and "Raising Adolescents" are explored.
Body Centered Hypnosis for Childbirth   
Body-Centered hypnosis for decreasing anxiety has proven an effective tool for many applications, including fear of childbirth and post traumatic stress syndrome resulting from physical and/or emotional trauma.
New! Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression affects women of childbearing age without regard to socio-economic strata, educational, racial, or ethnic backgrounds ...Our society pressures women to be “good” mothers, but simultaneously devalues the work of nurturing. ..women in the United States fare worse than their European counterparts in countries that offer government support programs to help families raise children.  The United States has chosen a radically different approach to maternity leave than the rest of the developed world. This course examines cultural issues related to postpartum depression, and identifies categories and treatment for postpartum depression in women.
