Reimagining couplehood as a partnership, rather than a competition, requires reimagining the “space between,” rather than “the space within,” as the target of therapy. This relocation of the locus of change requires reimaging therapy as a process that facilitates connecting more than self-understanding. This webinar will propose “interacting” rather than “knowing” as the foundation of the therapeutic process and connection and wonder rather than insight and self-knowledge as the outcome. Based on Harville and Helen’s first clinical book, Doing Imago Relationship Therapy in the Space-Between (Norton Publishers, April 20, 2021).

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the distinction between “interacting” and “knowing”.
2. Compare the “space between” to the “space within”.
3. Cite the basic historic shifts in the structure and function of couplehood.
