Description
Description:
We live in the most polarized era since the 1850s. The presenter will describe the connection between escalating couple conflict and escalating political polarization. He will propose ways that therapists can work with politically divided couples, and he will describe his work since 2016 on “red/blue” polarization in the U.S. via the national nonprofit Braver Angels. He will argue that couples therapists have much to offer a nation in trouble.
Educational Objectives:
- Identify the major elements of political polarization.
- Describe key strategies for helping couples who are divided by politics.
- Discuss ways to apply therapy and other professional strategies to healing the political divide in the country.
