For several years we've been looking for a practice management solution that we could recommend. We wanted something that would be extremely easy-to-use, and seamlessly integrate client data, clinical notes, and electronic insurance billing. But we just couldn't find anything...until now.
In this video, two renowned couples and marriage experts, Ellyn Bader and Dan Wile discuss what couples therapy is and what it is not. A valuable resource beginning therapists, and for clients this to help them get their couples therapy off on the right track.
Dr. Randall Wyatt masterfully engages these experts in the key issues that many couples face when considering couples therapy. In numerous heartwarming stories, they describe the positive changes that can occur in couples therapy, even for couples who appear at first hopelessly deadlocked. They describe the two most common patterns in couples: withdrawal from each other and avoiding dealing with critical issues, or engaging in repeated conflict that leaves each partner hurt and angry.
Despite the hope couple's therapy offers, many couples (or one partner) are reluctant or afraid to seek professional assistance. Couples Therapy: An Introduction can help ease these fears by laying out a roadmap of what the process entails, and providing some reality-based encouragement on what kinds of changes are possible. This video will be valued by couples of all types, as well as the therapists and counselors who work with them.
"I highly recommend the video Couples Therapy: An Introduction, to any couple considering entering therapy. It will both provide a good basis for the work and will also alleviate common fears experienced by people unfamiliar with the process. This is a great tool for therapists!"
- Kim Ives Bailey, MFT, Burlingame, CA
"Bader and Wile's optimism about helping couples is heartwarming and inspiring. This video is a wonderful addition to any therapist's library, as well as to any couple wanting to learn more about couples therapy."
- Keith Armstrong, LCSW, Director of Couples and Family Therapy Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, San Francisco

Ellyn and Peter are the authors of In Quest of the Mythical Mate: A Developmental Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment in Couples Therapy.
