Description
Description:
That only one partner is willing to seek relationship therapy should not deter therapists since there is much that can be accomplished. In fact, there are occasions when working with only one partner is preferable. This workshop will explore these situations and offer therapists a conceptual framework for conducting relationship-oriented sessions with one partner present.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how seeing couples with divergent goals can be detrimental.
- To describe how to ascertain the absent partner’s views and goals for the relationship.
