Many clinicians find marital therapy a difficult treatment modality. The intimate relationship often presents as a chaotic expression of individual and collective dynamics where regression and intensity are at a peak. Borrowing from Ken Wilber’s Integral model, Dr. Habib’s integral approach to the marital relationship conceptualizes the complexity of the intimate relationship which leads to interventions that are informed by all quadrants, lines, and levels of development that simultaneously impact the clinician’s encounter with the dyadic unit. It will include a diagnostic model of the couple’s process leading to interventions that create change. This seminar is robust in therapeutic strategies that extend well beyond communications training and conflict management. This seminar will provide systemic focus concerning the central role of dyadic regression, while providing specific techniques on how to stabilize and enhance these processes. It will also define a marital line of development that proposes the higher stages of intimate evolution. We will examine collective cultural messages that both help and hurt many couples ability to feel love and contentment.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

This workshop will help attendees to:

  • Identify the disruptive diagnostic pattern in a couples relationship that results in frustration and disillusionment.

  • Use in your couples work multiple intervention techniques that are consistent with  the various diagnostic patterns cited above. 
  • Know where to begin the intervention and what treatment format to utilize.

  • Understand how Integral Theory is impacting all of the sciences, especially psychology. 
TARGET AUDIENCE:

The target audience includes Licensed Psychologists, Marriage Family Therapists, Counselors, Graduate Psychology Students, and other mental health professionals.
