Family estrangements affect more than 65 million Americans, often with devastating consequences. Dr. Karl Pillemer - a leading family sociologist and professor of human development at Cornell University - spent nearly a decade collecting information from people who experienced estrangements in their families, including their paths to reconciliation.
In this course, Pillemer summarizes his findings with a special emphasis on helping working professionals - such as school counselors, financial managers, hospital social workers, and many more - better understand how family estrangement affects their work.
