Collaborative Couple Therapy: Turning Fights into Conversations, Part 1

Even the most experienced therapists can be challenged in their efforts to move couples beyond the patterns of intense adversarial interaction and withdrawal that frequently characterize couple conflict. Collaborative Couple Therapy, developed by Dan Wile, PhD, provides therapists with a unique model for moving couples beyond this spiral of alienation and into a cycle of connection.

The purpose of this talk is to present the principles of Collaborative Couple Therapy and equip participants to begin to use doubling and the “how much, how much” question—the signature methods of this approach—in their own therapeutic work. When you double, you speak as if you were one of the partners talking to the other. The “how much, how much” question allows you to ask a possibly threatening question by pairing it with a benign alternative.
