“How To Get The Most From Your Couples Therapy” By Ellyn Bader, Ph.D. and Peter Pearson, Ph.D.
Hello,
Marriage counselors often complain that couples arrive with unclear goals and unrealistic expectations that make it difficult to get traction. We’ve found it helps to start out by giving them an article that helps them prepare and summarizes important concepts about couples therapy.
We’d like to share it with you in the hope that it promotes better couples therapy and improved relationships for couples around the world.
Regards,
Dr. Ellyn Bader and
Dr. Peter Pearson
"I use it a lot with my clients. It’s very helpful. It sets the stage for much more success than when I did not state some expectations about the clients' and my role in therapy. And it saves me from getting caught in the middle and doing all the work for the couple.” ~Marie Schimmelpenninck, Flagstaff, AZ
