This is a rare opportunity to see Jill and David Scharff, a married couple, doing co-therapy. You even get to see them disagree with each other in the session! If you want to see how they work separately, check out Jill’s video on Object Relations Therapy and/or David’s video on Object Relations Child Therapy.
Note that this is the same family as in our Bowenian Family Therapy and Structural Family Therapy videos, so it is interesting to contrast the styles of these two master therapists.
By watching this video, you will:
• Develop an understanding of the key concepts of Object-Relations Family Therapy.
• Gain insight into how Jill and David Scharff create a therapeutic relationship that allows families to face underlying anxieties.
• Learn how to apply an Object-Relations approach to your own therapeutic work with families.
