Course description

MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIPS TODAY (irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identification) are, to a large extent based on the assumption that two individuals fuse into one. More than 50% of all first marriages end in divorce, as do approximately 75% of second marriages. Add to this the remaining secretly “miserably married”– those living lives of quiet (or not so quiet) desperation based on fear of being alone, fear of damaging the children, financial insecurity, religious doctrine, social stigma, etc. — and we begin to see the magnitude of the problem. If the Basic Human Dilemma for everyone from birth until death is: How to be connected to another, and maintain a self, then the western model of marriage
makes this almost impossible. “Two Become One” is the death knell to the movement required between self and other to maintain connection – with contact and separation. In order to connect, there must be two.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
For over 50 years, Bob and Rita Resnick have introduced Gestalt therapy to thousands of therapists worldwide. Their couples therapy model has allowed therapists, and couples, to benefit from an alternative view of coupling based on mutual respect, validation and acceptance of difference as a way to connect and resolve conflict in primary relationships. Kevin and Favo have been fortunate and proud to have been chosen by Bob and Rita to carry on their work on couples therapy and continue to teach it to therapists who want to work with couples in their practice, by learning to focus on the process from a Gestalt perspective. The Resnicks have brought their model to Ireland for over 20 years. We hope to continue to keep this tradition and resource alive and dynamic, open to the changing field conditions of our times.

This is a 2-year couples therapy training for qualified therapists and allied professionals who work with couples.
Each day, Favo and Kevin will work live with real Model Couples to illustrate their way of encouraging couples to authentically represent themselves. This will be a practical, “hands-on” course with daily supervised practice for all therapists in small supervised groups. All clinical work will be related to theory – to clarify and to make both more meaningful and practical. We want to focus on practice which will support therapists in their own work.
This course will offer two forms of completions:

A. A certificate of attendance for those who attend AT LEAST 90% of the whole course.
B. A certificate of competence for those who sit a final examination, where they will work with a couple live in front of an examination panel. They will need to be able to describe their work and link it to theory (examination fee not included in the course).
