Dear friends,

I am excited to invite you to join me in my new eight-week online course on What Every Therapist Ought to Know: Attachment, Arousal Regulation, and Clinical Techniques in Couple Therapy.

This course is based on a Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy^® (PACT) and is created primarily with couple therapists in mind. However, the principles and skills taught in this course will easily translate for use by individual, family, and group therapists.

PACT is an innovative, nonlinear model that integrates attachment theory, arousal regulation, and developmental neuroscience. In this course, we will focus on attachment theory and arousal regulation.

Early attachment patterns influence brain and nervous system development, leaving lasting effects on relationships. Attachment theory identifies three main styles of interpersonal relating. We will examine each attachment style, including relevant developmental issues, common defense mechanisms, and how to identify these styles and work most effectively with people of each.

We will also explore how to assess arousal regulation. You will learn basic PACT interviewing skills, ways to help partners effectively regulate each other, and other simple but powerful intervention techniques used by PACT therapists.

What sets PACT apart from other models of couple therapy is its emphasis on what we call secure functioning. The PACT therapist’s primary goal is to move couples toward secure functioning—that is, toward a relationship characterized by true mutuality, collaboration, and equal power; one that is fair, just, and sensitive to the needs of each partner. In short, partners must care for each other while caring for the self.

In this course, you will discover the value of secure functioning and learn how to bring it home both with your clients and in your own relationships.

In addition to the weekly videos in the eight-week course, I look forward to the online sessions with you. In these meetings, we will have a chance to chat. I will be able to answer your questions and guide you as you begin to integrate PACT principles and skills into your own clinical practice.

Health and Medical course

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
