This “Couples” workshop introduces an analytically-oriented approach to couple therapy. We explore the differences between individual (one-person) and couple (two-person) models and view the therapist as a “participant-observer” and significant “third” in the tri-personal field. The clinical presentation integrates classical, object relations, and relational models, applying contemporary research in attachment theory, self psychology, childhood trauma, “multigenerational transmission,” sociocultural issues related to class, race, religion, and other constructions, as well as the “location” of the analyst in a diverse field.

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the difference between one and two-person models of therapy.
– Evaluate the beneficial effects of couple intervention for children and/or other “third” parties
– Describe the impact of the “location” of the analyst in couple therapy.

Open to NPAP members and candidates I $30.00
non-members and PPLC (part-time) students I $50.00
