Ellyn and Peter co-founded The Couples Institute in 1986 and have an impressive legacy in couples therapy training. They are creators of The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, a model that teaches therapists how to diagnose, intervene, and significantly help troubled relationships. They have presented workshops to therapists throughout the United States as well as Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia, and Ellyn currently conducts an online program that has trained professionals from more than 69 countries.
“My introduction to your work through this audio program was astonishing and enlightening. I feel so much more prepared to SEE the dynamics of the couples relationship and more capable of hosting the couple’s work.”
“My ability to assess a couple’s stage, and do appropriate interventions, has increased dramatically since listening to this audio set. Each time I listen to any portion of the set, I find material that I can immediately begin to use in therapy sessions. I highly recommend it for any therapist wanting to increase his or her effectiveness with couples.”
“I am already seeing results in working with couples, and I can see how valuable it is to be able to listen to the audios over and over again at my leisure to really let the material sink in.”
“This audio set offers a unique opportunity to hear Pete and Ellyn explain the developmental model and show its direct application to clinical work. It enables the clinician to learn how to diagnosis and assess couples. These skills can be put into practice immediately. Drawing from clinical vignettes and their own personal experience the model comes alive. I am continually impressed by the way these presenters bring new depth and clarity to couples work. I have used this model in my practice and this audio set has provided fresh ideas to facilitate each partners growth that extricate me out of classic therapist dilemmas. Drs. Pearson and Bader provide a mental roadmap that the therapist can always return to to navigate the terrain of the couples therapy.”
