Description
Description: A comprehensive workshop exploring effective couples therapy techniques. Learn to address relationship challenges through a developmental model focusing on breaking negative cycles, setting goals, and fostering individual growth. Includes practical strategies for therapist engagement, self-assessment homework, and skill-building interventions to help couples move beyond blame and reconnect.
Syllabus Description: Difficult couples challenge therapists with their aggressive interactions, their demands for intimacy and their high levels of sensitivity to any confrontation. Dr. Bader will demonstrate how to start and sustain positive momentum with these high distress couples. Participants will discover how to create a context for change that uses four pillars to anchor all sessions. Participants will learn to make strong confrontations, take a firm leadership role and more smoothly interweave intra-psychic and systemic interventions. Video, role-play and clinical transcripts will all be used to demonstrate these principles.
Educational Objectives:
- To identify the four Pillars of Relationship Change.
- To name two ways to help each partner take responsibility for change.
