July 30, 2011: Treating Couples During the Recovery Process
Treating Couples During the Recovery Process, to be held at Swedish Medical Center, First Hill Campus, Orthopedic Center (601 Broadway) in Seattle, Washington. Robert Navarra, Psy.D., M.F.T., (http://robertnavarra.net) will conduct a full-day workshop focused on practical tools and exercises for professionals interested in working with recovering couples. John Gottman, Ph.D., will discuss how addiction can prompt betrayals between couples and how couples-based therapy can be used to help couples recover from such betrayals within the addiction recovery process.
Using brief presentations, demonstrations, and experiential exercises, participants will have the opportunity to learn to use tools and techniques to develop and strengthen “couple recovery”. This research-based model of couple recovery, called the “Couple Recovery Development Approach,” integrates and blends techniques and recovery concepts based on Dr. Bob Navarra’s ongoing research on couples and recovery through the Mental Research Institute (Palo Alto, CA) with the “Sound Relationship House” model developed by Dr. John Gottman through the Relationship Research Institute (Seattle, WA).
