Working with High-Conflict Couples
Working with High-Conflict Couples
In couples therapy, we may encounter conflicting couples almost all the time. However, some couples may feel different with their emotional intensity and speed of conflict and blame, and techniques that work for other couples may not work for these couples. High-conflict couples are qualitatively different from other couples' behavior and emotion patterns. For this reason, you need to resort to different methods.
This training will explain this particular group's needs and essential characteristics and teach specific techniques for stopping and transforming conflict. The training provides couples with tools and techniques to manage conflicts between themselves. It also trains therapists on how to understand couples' emotional needs and how to communicate effectively.
