Evaluation of Conflicts in Self-Giving

Ongoing Educational Conferences

Dr. Fitzgibbons and Dr. Kleponis have given many ongoing educational programs for priests in a number of dioceses and religious communities on addressing stresses in priestly ministry and on ministry to laity with marital, family, emotional and pornography conflicts.

Our mission is to strengthen Catholic marriages and families by educating spouses, marital therapists and clergy about common causes of conflicts in marital self-giving and effective approaches to alleviating such conflicts. 

Our mission is to strengthen families by educating parents about common causes of emotional and behavioral conflicts in children and by providing effective approaches to alleviating such conflicts. 

Dr. Fitzgibbons has coauthored a textbook on the treatment on excessive anger in adult and child psychiatric disorders in the field of positive psychology for American Psychological Association Books, Helping Clients Forgive: An Empirical Guide for Resolving Anger and Restoring Hope.
