The term “blended family” captures the fervent wishes stepcouples often bring for connection and a fresh start. The realities often involve “resistant” children and anxious, confused adults struggling with intense feelings of “insiderness” and “outsiderness,” questions about discipline, “appropriate” rules, and ever-present ex-spouse relationships. Whether working with individuals or kids, couples or families, Dr. Patricia Papernow will help participants recognize the five major predictable challenges stepfamilies face. She will provide psychoeducational, interpersonal, and individual interventions for successfully navigating these often intense and divisive forces.

Dr. Patricia Papernow is one of the world’s foremost experts on blended families. She is the Director of the Institute for Stepfamily Education and the author of Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships: What Works and What Doesn’t
