Description:
Couples therapy, like individual therapy, can draw on multiple theoretical models of treatment. In this presentation, Dr. Orna Guralnik will draw on relational-psychoanalytic and systems approaches to couples work, while keeping in mind the ways in which larger socio-political factors infiltrate the privacy of intimate relationships. The move towards integrating psychoanalytic and cultural theory has introduced a significant change in the psychoanalytic world, responding to large scale cultural movements in today’s culture and in other academic disciplines. Dr. Guralnik's presentation will include clinical vignettes and videos demonstrating what it means to shift between these paradigms.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the basic principles distinguishing between psychoanalytic and systemic approaches to couples.
- Analyze the distinction between surface issues, such as communication, underlying psychodynamics in couples, and systemic forces.
- Identify the ways that larger socio-political contexts infiltrate intimate relationships.
