This informative and stimulating presentation features
excerpts from five treatment sessions in which Dr. Frank Dattilio demonstrates
the core techniques of Cognitive Couples Therapy. The viewer has a rare
opportunity to watch a master therapist using the same procedures that are
presented in the book: Cognitive Therapy with Couples
The young couple in this presentation enter
therapy after 10 years of marriage with complaints of resentment, alienation,
misunderstanding, disenchantment, unfairness, and nonproductive quarrelsome
arguments. In a series of conjoint and individual sessions, Dr. Dattilio
demonstrates how he helps couples identify and conceptualize their complaints,
thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and then begin the process of reconceptualizing
and reframing those concepts and schemata to improve their personal and marital
relationships.
The use of specific techniques is clearly illustrated including
how to delve into automatic thoughts and underlying beliefs (schemata),
procedures for delineating positive and negative frames, how to develop and use
the download arrow, reframing, educating clients in the cognitive model,
and ways in which various questionnaires, instruments, and homework assignments
can be productively used diagnostically, therapeutically, and to reinforce
therapeutic gains.
A brief program guide will help both experienced and novice
therapists increase their understanding and appreciation of what Dr. Dattilio
demonstrates in his work with this couple.
"Dr. Dattilio has developed one of the premier teaching
[videos] and demonstrations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy applied to
couples. The [DVD] is well produced, has excellent video and sound, and
gives the viewer an opportunity to 'sit in' on marital therapy with one of the
foremost CBT clinicians in the world"

"A daunting challenge for every marital therapist is the couple
who endlessly argue and blame each other. Both partners view their own behavior
as a justifiable reaction to the other's behavior. Neither partner can take
responsibility for his/her own motives or behavior. This mutual projection
system is called marriage. Since such marital interactions are usually
refractory to change, most therapists throw up their hands after trying
everything they know... This [video] clearly shows the effectiveness of
[the Cognitive Therapy with Couples] approach in improving the
relationship of couples for whom squabbling was a way of
life."
