Clinical seminars are presented by seasoned clinicians who have been asked by the Alliance Education Committee to offer a seminar about their work over the years.  This is a great opportunity to engage with the accumulated clinical learning of someone with considerable experience as a therapist.

Two Wednesdays: October 11, 18; 7:00 to 8:30 pm.
