The Angry Couple dramatically recreates key moments in the six-month course of therapy with Judith and Richard, a distressed couple whose marriage is threatened by a cycle of explosive anger and silent withdrawal. Dr. Heitler quickly reins in their anger, cuts through the impasses that have prolonged their conflict, and uncovers the core issues that have blocked intimacy from flourishing.

Watch Dr. Heitler in action, and you’ll learn how to:

  • Gain control in the first session, and keep subsequent sessions safe
  • Defuse anger in the therapy office, without taking sides
  • Teach techniques for preventing anger escalations at home
  • Convert inflammatory interactions to cooperative dialogue
  • Help couples develop positive communication skills, so core issues are addressed and resolved.

The Angry Couple offers a solid framework for students, fresh perspectives for seasoned therapists, and engaging learning for couples looking to enhance their relationship.

"This is an excellent presentation… A valuable teaching and training tool, it clearly illustrates that successful clinical practice involves the ability to take a focused problem-solving approach which integrates perspectives and techniques from several therapeutic modalities. Clinicians of every theoretical orientation will find something of value in this clear and thoughtful presentation."
