The New York State Society For Clinical Social Work Mid-Hudson Chapter With The Advanced Clinical Education Foundation presents:

HOW TO DO EFFECTIVE COUPLES THERAPY

Program Description

There are many ways to do couples therapy, and several distinct models that have been used successfully. This presentation will look at the different models, what is effective about each, and how they are similar and different. There will also be an examination of what can go wrong in couples therapy and what “not to do.” The presenter will describe his own approach to couples therapy, with emphasis on improving communication and conflict resolution, and provide examples of different outcomes from his own cases.
