This is a refereed, international conference for mental health professionals.

Institute for Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Therapies 
in Tuscany, Italy

September 23 - October 4, 2011

Sponsored by the Counseling Graduate Program
Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia


We invite you to participate in an exciting new opportunity to learn and educate mental health professionals about Complementary, Alternative and Integrative Therapies (CAIT). 

	This event is a 10-day study institute set in a picturesque 14th century villa on a mountainside in Tuscany.  Our focus is on bringing awareness about the practice of CAIT to the American and European communities of mental health professionals as well as graduate students.  
Visit ancient Italian cities on day trips including Florence, Pisa, Assisi, Siena, and Lucca. This institute offers the comfort and security of a planned itinerary that includes an American guide who is fluent in Italian. Participants stay the entire 10 days in the same room in a magnificent villa that features a spectacular view of the Tuscan hills. Frequent visits to a small Italian village are possible that provide a flavor of Italy that can only be experienced in the rural countryside. In addition, several of the major ancient cities in Tuscany will be visited, including a day in the culturally rich city of Florence.
