Couple power therapy for exploring new patterns of communication
1 streaming video file (47 min., 39 sec.)
Peter L. Sheras and Phyllis R. Koch-Sheras work with a couple who have been married for 12 years but have fallen into poor communication and behavior patterns. The husband is generally dispassionate but becomes withdrawn and withholds affection when he is angry. The wife tries to avoid confrontation and overcompensates to please her husband so he will not become morose. Both partners are committed to staying in the marriage. Koch-Sheras and Sheras work with them to develop a shared vision for their marriage, expressed as a proclamation, that expresses the passion and commitment they hope to learn to share.
