- Short Description:
- This session explores the integration of the "empty chair" psychodrama within the PACT model to interrupt regressive relational patterns rooted in early object relations. By externalizing archaic self–other dynamics, therapists can help partners develop a witness state, promote individuation, and shift ego-syntonic behaviors toward more adaptive, secure-functioning interactions in real time.

- Short Description:
- During this time of extreme polarization in the country, political stress has invaded couple relationships. Loyalties to different political tribes create tensions, as do different ways of coping with this stressful environment. This is new territory for couples therapists, and of course we are dealing with our own distress about what’s going on the country. The presenter will offer clinical strategies for helping couples in turbulent times, along with examples of how he has applied couples therapy strategies to create community interventions to reduce polarization, via the nonprofit Braver Angels.

- Short Description:
- In this golden age for models of couples therapy, therapists may wonder if they should be practicing the “one best model.” The research is clear that couples therapy models that have been tested are about equally effective, and that there are a number of key ingredients in any effective way to practice couples therapy. The presenter will describe these key ingredients that cut across models and some skills necessary to practice any model. He will argue that since this therapy is about improving relationships, the relationships we establish with our couple clients—balanced, caring, and sometimes challenging—are the heart of what we have to do well.

- Short Description:
- Yapko and Polster examine the idea of “life focus” groups as a natural extension of psychotherapy, designed not for problem-solving but for cultivating reflection, belonging, and continuity in community. Highlighting themes like design, congregation, and continuity, the keynote draws parallels to religion, the arts, and large-scale social movements while imagining new, non-clinical spaces for shared growth. Participants gain a broader vision of how psychotherapy’s principles can inspire communal practices that enhance meaning and vitality in everyday life.
