Dr.
Garber provides continuing
education training to educators,
mental health, legal, and family
law professionals around the
world. Format (in-person, live
video feed, or video-recorded),
duration (two-day, one-day,
keynote, or brief), and topic
vary by audience need, timing,
and resources.
Dr. Garber uses PowerPoint(TM)
uniquely to capture complex
concepts as easily understood
visual metaphors. His
presentations are entertaining,
engaging, challenging, and
practical. Across topics and
settings and modalities, Dr.
Garber's goal is to improve
participants' here-and-now,
hands-on ability to better
understand and serve the needs
of children.

will
be glad to discuss possible
formats, topics, and how best
to engage and educate your
targeted audience.

Examples of past trainings
follow:
|
Resist/Refuse
Dynamics
and the Polarized Child
Dr. Garber
introduces an evaluative rubric
that helps to minimize bias,
avoid premature closure, and
assure taht the full spectrum of
dynamics and practical pressures
are examined. The "Five Factor
Model" is critiqued as biased
and circular.
|
|
Sampling
Relationship Dynamics:
Considering the goals
and methods of behavioral
observations in CCEs
Evaluators are
expected to rely upon
diverse methods. This full
day training examines how
best to realistically sample
family relationships,
emphasizing a
process-oriented protocol.
|
|
Dynamics, not
Diagnoses:
Focusing the family law lens on
relationship "fit"
Mental health
professionals working in family
law routinely drag the baggage
inherited from the medical model
into the fray. Family law is
about relationship dynamics, not
individual diagnoses. Of
particular interest is the
argument against the use of
individual adult psychometrics
in family law matters.
|
|
Structure
diminishes Anxiety:
Assessing and imposing
roles, limits, boundaries, and
routines in conflicted family
systems
Understanding the
structures that define each
family, the structures that
define your practice, and the
structures inherent in the
judicial system is critical to
our success as family law
professionals.
|
|
Resilience-informed
Family Law:
Building Parenting Plans on
Systemic Strengths
Child Custody
Evaluations (CCEs) and
litigation focused on weakness,
failures, and pathology rewards
the least detrimental parent and
leaves the family system in
shreds. Focusing the process on
strengths and resilience
genuinely works in the bets
interests of each child.
