Working with Couples: Can’t Live With You, Can’t Live Without You
Thursday, November 8 | 7:00 to 8:30 PM
Details
We have also seen them in our practices, couples who communicate chronic bitterness, anger, and blame. These couples say things like, “We have not agreed on things for years,” frequently threaten divorcing, yet cling to one another tenaciously. This session explores the dynamics underlying the hostile, symbiotic and dependent couples along with strategies that contain their hostility and promote maturation. The important work of managing the countertransference will also be examined.
Presenter:
Frances Bigda-Peyton, Ed.D., Cert.Psya. is on the teaching and research faculty of the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis.
