Description: Two brief therapy models—cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused—are explored for their ability to jump-start change in distressed couples. The presenters consider how early signs of improvement, hope-building, and collaborative strategies support movement toward repair. The conversation also addresses clinical judgment around domestic violence, therapist alignment, and working within complex systems.
