Description
Description:
This presentation will explore the expression of basic conflicts between love and aggression in a couple’s sexual life, their daily interactions, and their value systems. The analysis of chronic couples’ conflicts will be followed by the outline of an essentially psychoanalytic approach to their diagnostic assessment, and the characteristics of analytic and supportive strategies of treatment.
Educational Objectives:
- Given a couple, diagnose the dominant areas of conscious and unconscious conflicts.
- To describe the essential characteristics of an analytic technique in couples therapy.
