Description:

Couples in distress minimize and numb their pain by avoiding contact. By writing a vision of what they both want, the therapist can focus the couple on the future. By combining Gestalt concepts with those popularized by Hendrix and others, therapists can have a powerful effect on quickening the healing process. New sessions will involve writing, note taking, and an agreed upon assignment to be practiced during the week. With Roberta Karant and Stefan Deutsch.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe how to create a positive vision for relationships and how to utilize the tools of awareness and communication to move towards that vision.
2. List ways clients can behave in unconditional ways that will support the healing journey.
