No cases involve more momentous consequences than those involving couples on the brink of divorce, especially when children are involved. No matter how neutral we try to be, our beliefs, judgments, and behaviour in the therapy room can have enormous repercussions on whether clients decide to go all-in for saving their marriage or dissolve it. What's our responsibility and what role should our own values and judgments play in the process? Is therapeutic neutrality really possible when marriages are on the line? Should it be?

To help you answer these questions, we're launching an all-new online video course — The Dilemmas of Divorce: New Approaches for Helping Couples on the Brink. It features William Doherty, Terry Real, Tammy Nelson, Michele Weiner-Davis, Patricia Papernow, and Elana Katz — leading innovators in the field of couples therapy who will share new approaches they've developed specifically for couples considering divorce.

You'll learn how to determine the best interests of your clients and their entire families and get the practical guidance you need to start using these new approaches with couples considering divorce in your own practice.
 
Imagine how this course will transform your work with couples on the brink.

  1. Explore practical approaches to help ambivalent partners move forward with clarity and confidence
  2. Find out how to guide a divorcing couple through a 3-stage process that allows them to end their union with respect and good will
  3. Discover the limits of therapeutic neutrality with couples considering divorce and learn how to actively engage with both partners in therapy

  • The common mistakes therapists make with "mixed agenda" couples
  • How to use individual and conjoint sessions to help both partners take responsibility for their contributions to the problems in the relationship

  • When and how therapists should offer couples direct feedback about staying together or not

  • Crisis Phase - Learn strategies for guiding couples through the decision process, handling emotional issues, addressing the practical questions of how to negotiate the legal system, developing a co-parenting plan, and working through other day-to-day details
  • Insight Phase - Help divorcing couples review the deeper meaning of their marriage, determine what they've learned, find ways to mourn their loss, and express regrets and appreciation to each other
  • Vision Phase - Support the couple in finding ways — often through ritual — to honour the marriage and approach divorce as an important life passage rather than a shameful failure
