Keynote Speaker: Barry Litt, MFT

Keynote Address: The Foundations of Dialogue: A Client-Centered Approach

We all know that building rapport and establishing dialogue is a necessary ingredient in counseling, but what is it made out of? It is often assumed that clinicians just know intuitively what that looks like, but often we don’t. In this keynote address, Barry Litt breaks down dialogue to its elemental components and reveals the universal foundations of dialogue and trust.

Barry Litt received his Masters degree in Family Therapy in Philadelphia where he studied contextual therapy with its founder, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy. Barry is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. He has authored three chapters in as many books plus a journal article on the integration of EMDR with couples and family therapy, has presented workshops at numerous conferences and provided many workshop trainings to international audiences. Barry is dedicated to advancements in theoretical integration and technical innovation in EMDR therapy.
