Within the enormous complexity of human experience, the reflex to connectedness rescues the person from fragmentation. Connectedness may be therapeutically restored along four pathways: moment-to-moment, person- to-person, event-to-event and one part of the person to the other parts. Dr. Polster will discuss and demonstrate how to do this.
Imago is couple's therapy that posits that all healing is relational. The core couples issue is ruptured connection, replicating the rupture of connection in childhood. The rupture and the defenses against it influence marital choice and the quality of the marital relationship. The core therapeutic challenge is to help couples restore and maintain connection. To that end, Imago therapists facilitate couples to reconnect using a specific dialogical process, that creates emotional safety, in which couples can help heal each other and grow toward wholeness.

Dr. Glasser has moved away from the DSM-IV and the medical model. He does not believe that any of the mental illnesses diagnosed in the DSM-IV actually exist because none of them are associated with pathology in the brain. By using Choice Theory he has moved from the medical school model to the public health model to show how counselors can deliver mental health more effectively than psychiatrists are doing now and at a fraction of what we are now spending.
The BASIC I. D. as a template for assessment and therapy will be outlined, as well as methods unique to Multimodal Therapy such as Bridging and Tracking procedures. Many practitioners of psychotherapy make costly mistakes. These will be discussed in detail with a view to enhancing the clinical effectiveness of the participants.
