Intimate Relations I

1 Unit · Graduate

This course will elaborate on the Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST) approach for working with couples, which involves a focus on sequences of interaction, affective intensity and subtlety of communication. The most common problems that couples present, including communication issues, intense conflict, trust issues, sexual difficulties, and lifespan changes, will be addressed. Theoretical models, case conceptualization, and intervention will be taught from a cultural perspective, considering the social positioning of both the client(s) and the therapist. MSMFT Online.
