Families in Difficult Times:
Conflict, COVID, and Cyberspace
9th Conference of the International Academy of Family PsychologyOnline from Munich, Germany (UTC+2) |
|
The International Academy of Family Psychology (IAFP) is a professional organization of family psychologists from around the world (see https://iafponline.com/) . Our conferences address a broad range of issues including “classical” themes such as partnership and child rearing in the context of family diversity, as well as current hot topics. This conference takes a special focus on family stress and coping. Keynotes and invited symposia will present research on families in times of war and forced migration, family life in the Covid‐19 pandemic, families facing high post‐separation conflict, and challenges of increasing digitalization. They will also inform about trauma therapy and discuss services of family support, which often involve multiprofessional collaboration and increasingly rely on digital tools.
