As families increasingly cram their homes with computers, fax machines, routers, and DVD players and laden themselves with pagers, cell phones, Blackberrys, and Palm Pilots, they face altogether new challenges to family health and connectedness. How can therapists prepare themselves to guide families through the uncharted territory of techno-time? Through case histories and videotaped demonstrations, this session will examine families' struggles to protect children's safety, couple intimacy, and shared family time when digital gadgetry permits instant access to office, school buddies, questionable entertainment, and perfect strangers 24/7. Participants also will learn concrete approaches for helping families--and therapists!--make technology work for them, rather than being worked over by technology.
