Description
Description:
This workshop will address two challenging issues that surface in couples therapy: addiction and self absorption. Through the lens of the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, we will emphasize how to make strategic treatment decisions that propel couples toward sobriety and more collaborative functioning. Case examples will demonstrate the challenge of confronting individual partners with addictive or self-absorbed behaviors, while simultaneously supporting the developmental growth of the couple.
Educational Objectives:
- Discuss 4 important Do’s and 4 important Don’ts which are strong guidelines when working with married partners who are addicted.
- Describe 2 techniques for facilitating other-differentiation in self-absorbed partners.
