Remembering Dr evan imber-black
It is with great sadness that we share with you the passing of Dr Evan Imber-Black. She was a giant in our field, brilliant systemic thinker, writer, editor, and teacher, who has inspired generations of family therapists and trainees around the world. Evan was not just a teacher but a friend to us, as she has been a guest teacher at our training institute in the past. She will be dearly missed.
