Time : 6:30 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Event Details : “Couple Therapy: Understanding yourself and your partner” a talk by by Yun Pang.
Couple therapy is relatively new in India. Increasingly, young urban Indian professionals turn to couple therapy for help with their relationship problems. This trend reflects positive changes in beliefs and attitudes in India towards seeking professional help for marital problems which have traditionally been dealt with within the family or community.
Couple therapy in the West grew out of the field of family therapy. Unlike traditional psychoanalysis or individual psychodynamic psychotherapy which focus on the unconscious and internal dynamics of the individual, couple therapy seeks to understand the multiple factors, including culture, gender and class that, in addition to the internal world of the couple, contribute to relational difficulties. Couple therapy can be helpful in engaging couples on a journey of exploration, discovery, understanding and awareness of themselves, their partners and of each other.
Couple therapists often hear statements like: “We don’t communicate any more;” “we can’t talk without getting into a fight;” “why can’t s/he understand what I am going through;” “S/he has to change, otherwise…” What do these statements say about the problems that a couple may be struggling with?
This talk will explain the reasons couples seek out couple therapy and provide an overview of the therapeutic process and what couples can expect from their therapy. We will also look at the goals of couple therapy, provide advice on how to find a trained and experienced couple therapist.
