Program Description

The Couple & The Child Clinical Training is a 2-day workshop that will prepare therapists to work with couples whose conflict arises from child-provoked stress and parenting. Integrating couple relationship dynamics with parent-child attachment, this model analyses the effects of relationships on relationships, within family units. Clinicians attending this workshop will apply the theory of positive and negative triangulation between couples and their child to their own practice, in individual or couples therapy. They will analyse positive and negative triadic interactions and construct treatment plans for clients. Through role-play exercises, clinicians will integrate theory into practice and will be prepared to administer interventions to their clients.
