And Baby Makes ...

We focus on degrees of preparation for parenthood, the state of the marriage/relationship, and issues that determined the couple initially seeking therapeutic help. The course will examine the therapist’s approach to couples who may have physically “conceived” a baby without “conceptualizing” how an actual baby can impact the couple relationship, while initially “bringing” a couple together.The actual impact of a child on spouse’s individual and couple situation. Case material will be featured and the participants will be encouraged to discuss challenges within the couple transference and therapist countertransference that inevitably influence the therapy process.
