Confronting Illness and Death: In Our Personal Lives and In the Therapy Room

Confronting Illness and Death: In Our Personal Lives and In the Therapy Room, presented by Elaine Belz, Ph.D.
Date: Thursday, March 15, 2012
Location: The Rutgers Club, 199 College Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ
Speaker: Elaine Belz, Ph.D.
