Description
Description: Ellyn Bader demonstrates the "paper exercise," a powerful diagnostic technique for couples therapy. Partners negotiate a symbolic piece of paper, revealing critical relationship dynamics like communication patterns, conflict resolution, and emotional intimacy. The method provides therapists insights into a couple's developmental stage and potential intervention strategies.
Syllabus Description: Learn to quickly identify a couple’s developmental stage. Assess each partner’s role in maintaining arrested development and create an effective treatment plan that emphasizes “teamwork”.
Educational Objectives:
- Demonstrate how to use a couples history and presenting problem to identify their developmental stage.
- Select stage-specific interventions to target more rapid change.
