Jo Frasca
ACIS Director &
Conference Convenor

It is with great pleasure that the Australian Centre for Integrative Studies invites you to our upcoming inaugural conference on
March 23rd and 24th 2012. The title and theme of our conference is:

Allies and Enemies: The Role of Real and Metaphoric Siblings in our Psychological Worlds

As practitioners in the field of mental health we are perpetually looking for ways to better interpret our work with clients.

Predominantly we have considered our clients through the channel of parental involvement, that being parent to child.
This conference deviates from that usual juncture and considers the impact of siblings on siblings in the developmental
stages of the personality.

We are excited to be hosting a conference that will solely consider aspects of personality development within sibling relationships.
This is not a common feature highlighted at conference themes.

Another characteristic of this conference will be that of an integrative nature, bringing together different modalities. It is intended
that the presentations, while using a relational platform of theories, philosophies and methodologies, will draw attention to
perspectives on various modalities.
