More adults are becoming estranged from a family member these days. But is there another way to deal with family conflict? Our therapist, Laurie Poole discusses this topic in a recent Newsweek article.

She received advanced practical training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and families at UT Southwestern, where she spent five years in the Department of Psychiatry’s Family Studies Clinic working with diverse clients of all ages.
