Description

Description:

Couples Conference 2021 will be held ONLINE June 5 and 6. For single day registrations:

 

The Couples Conference gives mental health professionals the opportunity to learn state-of-the-art skills for effective couples therapy. This year on June 5th and 6th the Couples Conference will be held online, featuring an expert faculty who will cover a wide array of couples issues faced today, such as infidelity, forgiveness, transgender relational issues, mindfulness, personality disorders, passive aggression and more.

The Couples Conferences have become a leading vehicle for learning the applications of the latest research on facilitating treatment with couples. At this Conference, you will learn from leading-edge theorists and practitioners as they define, describe and discuss differing approaches that initially promote closeness and those that move toward managing difference and facilitating differentiation. By the end of this Conference, you will have advanced and refined your own thinking about how to approach the challenge of facilitating intimacy. Attendees will increase their clinical effectiveness by-

  • Comparing and contrasting differing professional perspectives and translating these into specific interventions
  • Evaluating basic principles and techniques of contemporary schools of therapy
  • Utilizing multi-level therapeutic communication
  • Comprehending the commonalities that underlie successful clinical work
  • Appreciating the historical development of psychotherapeutic disciplines
