This will be hosted online as a webinar. p>
The Tavistock model offers a useful foundational theoretical framework for thinking about the emotionally challenging and complex work with coupl es. This workshop will offer an overview of some of the central theoretica l cornerstones of the theory, including Morgan’s ‘couple state of mind’, th e application of Britton’s concept of the “third” as it applies to couples, the structuring role of shared unconscious anxieties and defenses, and how projective identification can be usefully thought of in terms of couple co mmunication. We will think about what constitutes a healthy, functioning c ouple, and particularly about what capacities we are trying to develop in t he couples we work with.
We will also consider whether we as psychoan alytic couple psychotherapists hold a place for the creative, aesthetic, an d non-realistic even as we also help couples develop capacities for mature, differentiated object relating. Enlisting Winnicott, Bollas and others we will explore the value of thinking about such powerfully felt experiences of the other while still valuing the necessity and importance of helping co uples see each other more realistically.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will identify three
theoretical cornerstones of the Tavistock method of work with couples.
2. Participants will describe the clinical importance of supporting a cou
ple’s realistic perceptions of one another.
3. Participants will asses
s the utility of including consideration of transitional realm qualities of
relating in assessing couple functioning.
