How Therapists Undermine Marriage

Bill Doherty does workshops around the country on couples therapy. The following topical presentations were recorded over a two day workshop and offer you invaluable training and perspective from over 30 years of working with couples, conducting research, and training and supervising therapists.
The details on shipping, CE, etc are below.
It’s a little-discussed problem in our field: some therapists, even those who are technically skilled, undermine marital commitment. They do it by pathologizing couples relationships, by taking the side of the spouse who is learning “out” of the marriage, and by using slogans (such as “I’m not here to save marriages—I’m hear to help people”) that take an individualistic approach that moves couples towards divorces that may not be necessary. Few therapists are actively anti-commitment, but nevertheless they do harm by thinking that their approach is value free and “neutral” when it is primarily individualistic. This workshop will help you examine your own values and practices and help you reflect on how you can keep from inadvertently undermining couples who are struggling to hold on to their marriage.
