Treating the Mixed-Agenda Couple

Bill Doherty On An Approach For Unaligned Relationships

Tough Customers: Is It Them or Us?

By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people!

Thank you Dr. Kagan! One of the ideas that appeals to me most that you offered is that we are not trapped by our early childhood experiences into disfunctional relationships. New theraputic experiences can alter client response those early experiences. I like the hopeful edge that offers.
Yours, Walter Mehring

Thank you Alan and Rick. The big piece I see from this in couples therapy, then, is the importance of our connecting in a strongly attached responsive relationship with our client couples. Then, to use that connection to help the couple respond to each other in a similar way. I think we can easily get so wrapped up in attempting to alleviate a couple's distress, that we neglect the first part of the equation, and as a result, don't connect well enough to have an impact.
