Overview
This evidence-based method of couples developed by Leslie Greenberg and Susan Johnson consists of methods for enhancing the emotional bond between partners. The training will include recent advances to theory and practice made by Leslie Greenberg and Rhonda Goldman, including how to work with issues of power and dominance.
This program will focus on in-depth skills training through a combination of brief lectures, video demonstrations, role-playing practice and supervision. Intimate relationships are understood on the dimension of attachment/ security, involving closeness and distance, as well as on the dimension of identity/autonomy, involving dominance and submission.
In Level 2, we will focus on going further in depth to Stages 1-3 of the 5 stage model.
We will also cover advanced skills in Self-soothing; Supervision of couples work, and Case Formulation.
