We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2002 Annual Symposium:

Adolescence, Violence, and Fanaticism: Peace or Pieces_

Saturday, May 11
9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
California Pacific Medical Center, Pacific Campus Conference Center

Psychoanalytic thinkers have drawn our attention to the violence, in fantasy if not in deed, inherent in the process of growing up. Recent events of actual violence cause us to ask questions about the roots of violence and its ramifications. Can adolescent violence be attributed to failures of the integrity of our social fabric_ Are there parallels between the mentality behind the terrorist events of September 11 and a possible tendency of adolescents toward fanaticism_ Is it possible to talk about "adolescent violence" without fostering dangerous and misleading stereotypes_ How might we understand popular fascination with sensationalized accounts of adolescent violence_

In this multidisciplinary symposium, we will address these and other questions. Our panel discussion will feature representatives from psychoanalysis, adolescent mental health, law/advocacy, the school system, the media, and sociology, political science, and related academic disciplines. 3.5 hours of CE/CME credit will be offered.
