The contemporary landscape of couple therapy in Australia

Couple therapy has very long traditions and varied theoretical influences. It is exciting work, but also not for the faint hearted at times! The webinar will provide a snapshot of the diversity of relationship practice, current themes in presentations, foremost theories driving the profession at present, and the key ethical issues that arise in the work. It will be useful for those who are wanting to have a space to reflect on current relationship themes in their practice, those who are considering embarking on couple therapy as part of their practice, and those who want to know more about its place alongside individual work (including the pitfalls of both happening in parallel).
