Vive! To Sponsor
Dr. Sal Minuchin Conference in Denver

Vive!, nationally-recognized as one of the most effective, family-focused teen and young adult transition programs in the United States, is proud to sponsor an upcoming conference featuring world renowned therapist and teacher, Dr. Salvador Minuchin, "New Developments: 40 Years Later" presented by the Denver Family Institute. Considered one of the founding fathers of family therapy, Dr. Minuchin, a trained psychiatrist, initiated the theory and practice of "structural family therapy." Vive uses a systemic approach to therapy, which complements Minuchin's structural family therapy.

"We're honored to participate in Dr. Sal Minuchin's visit to Denver this month, as he is a pillar of our practice and set the stage for so much great work with families the world over," shared Vive CEO Terry Tierney. "Dr. Minuchin's visit not only brings regional attention to family therapy, but offers all of us a great opportunity to learn from one of the legends and innovators in the field."

The Minuchin conference, which sold out quickly, will attract more than 385 national participants, mostly from the Western United States, including psychiatrists, psychologists and other therapists from the field who are dedicated to helping heal families. It will take place April 27-28, 2007 at the Sheraton Denver West in Lakewood, Colorado. Those interested in more information should visit the Denver family Institute website, www.denverfamilyinstitute.org, or contact James Thomas, LMFT, at 303-756-3340. In addition to being the Executive Director of the Denver Family Institute, Jim is a Vive! advisory board member.
