The Ackerman Institute for the Family recently hosted visiting students from the Academy of Counselors in Japan. The visit occurred during the week of November 14, 2011, and is part of an on-going relationship between the Ackerman Institute and the Academy of Counselors, developed 10 years ago to provide training in the Ackerman Relational Approach. Thirteen trainees and three administrators took part in a four-day intensive training on family therapy.
