Psychology 398/498, Reweaving the Broken Web: An Interdisciplinary Conference
on Family Violence
March 14-16, 1997
I co-chaired a conference on violence at Sonoma State on March 14-16, 1997.
The Conference was cosponsored with the Sonoma State Psychology Department,
the School of Social Sciences, and the Redwood Psychological Association.
I believe violence is one of our society's most serious and
recalcitrant problems; and that educating ourselves as to its roots, treatment,
and prevention, can improve our own world and that of others.
Dr. Mardi Horowitz delivered the keynote address on violent states of mind.
His talk was followed by a panel of local experts on violence. The following
day, Dr. Susan Hanks discussed issues around family violence. She was followed
by 34 other community professionals from clinics, counseling agencies, hospitals,
the Probation Dept., the Police and Sheriff's Dept., and the courts. It was
a very exciting and inspiring conference, and as usually happens at these
events, people became energized to develop new programs or to work in areas
they hadn't identified before. It was an excellent conference, and more than
one person told me it changed their life.
Peace which passeth understanding.
