Description

Description:

PACT is a non-linear, poly-theoretical approach that fuse theories of attachment, developmental neuroscience, and arousal regulation. PACT is quickly gaining a reputation for effectively treating couples typically thought of as challenging.

This two-part workshop will introduce attendees to this psychobiological model, the forensic-like techniques employed to obtain information rapidly, the skills required to quickly read and assess microexpressions and micromovements and other somatic signalling, the use of creative and sometimes outrageous interventions, how to regulate difficult partners and couples as well as oneself, how to identify and work with various presentations of insecure attachment, how to differentiate psychological defenses from neurological deficits, how to recognize and deal with partner acting out, how to get partners into a light trance, how to determine attachment organization through interview and finding somatic markers, how to work strategically and improvisationally, and how to guide partners toward secure functioning. This approach is highly effective, not for the faint of heart, yet exceeding fun! Clinical video and live demonstrations included.

Educational Objectives:

*Sessions may be edited for content and to preserve confidentiality*

  1. Describe three deceptive behaviors commonly seen in couple therapy.
  2. Apply the beginning technique for getting partners into a light trance.
