2005 Symposium

In 2005 the third Oxford Symposium was held at Brasenose College. Returning 2003 and 2004 Symposium Members and new faces made visible for the third time the international "invisible college" of practitioners, researchers and theorists in School-Based Family Counseling. In a friendly, informal, "think-tank" atmosphere Symposium Members from Denmark to Hong Kong to Canada presented papers on counseling methodologies and interventions within family and educational systems, as well as on counselor education.
