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.
