An Introduction to Therapy with Couples

Organised by:

Tavistock Relationships

Description

Explore central theoretical concepts of psychodynamic couple therapy.

With Ellen Burridge & Shannon Ashton.

18 CPD Credits.

In this 12 week online series participants will explore what it’s like to work with couples in therapy. The course is designed for those interested in how relationships work and how they get stuck as well as those considering a training in couple therapy. Through reading and discussing clinical papers by key figures in the field alongside case material you will gain insights and understandings of this fascinating and burgeoning area in the field of psychotherapy.

Topics covered include what brings couples together, shared unconscious relationships and couple fit, holding the ‘couple in mind’ in therapy, unconscious phantasy and beliefs, projective processes in couples, sex and sexualities, aggression and violence in couples, couples and parenting, ageing and relationships, depression and psychological issues, attachment styles within couples, and intergenerational aspects in relationships.

This comprehensive series offers both the opportunity to read the theory, how it is applied to the work and also to reflect as a group on what it might be like to work with couples and the dynamics of couple relationships in therapy. With three in the room the work becomes quite different.

Our speakers are both experienced couple therapists themselves, trained at Tavistock Relationships and immersed in the TR model of understanding and working with couples. This course offers CPD points for psychotherapists and is a fantastic grounding to pursue any of our clinical trainings whether you are a beginner looking for a career change or are interested to add on couples to your existing trainings.
