Margaret Nagib will be speaking at the 2015 CCT Conference. Her presentation is entitled "THE POWER OF HOPE." The latest in hope research will be discussed, and a new paradigm for psychotherapeutic intervention that focuses on teaching clients how to “hope instead of cope” will be presented. This new paradigm is future-focused with a heavy emphasis on identifying and realizing each client’s God-given destiny and addressing “hope deferred” and “heart sickness” from a psychological and biblical perspective (Proverbs 13:12).
