Introduction Dr. Pate has maintained a private practice for 20 years. She has consulted in psychiatric hospitals, family court, and treatment centers for family domestic violence. She sees a broad spectrum of clients with diverse backgrounds and treatment needs. Her expertise is in generational patterns that interrupt human development in adults and children. Dr. Pate has presented at conferences speaking on the topics of: Families in Quandaries: Into the Third and Fourth Generation, Making sense in Families, Uncapping Family Wisdom, The Trinity and the Gift of Self, Counseling Toward Spiritual Maturity Managing,and Communicating our Emotions, Changing Realities: Communicating for Effective Suicide Prevention Equipping Ourselves to Address the Needs of Families, What the World is Like: Filling in the Gaps for Families Affected by Trans- Generational Dysfunction. Dr. Pate is the author of Uncapping Family Wisdom: Recognizing, Treating and Reconciling Trans-Generational Dysfunction soon to be released.
Interests I am interested in Uncapping Family Wisdom. Trans-Generational Dysfunction (problems that interrupt optimal human development generation after generation) is caused by errors in reality testing found in the family speaking pattern, being passed down through the family line. Understanding these barriers to family unity and removing these barries can change the potential for family harmony and the potential for optimal development of individual family members.
