As therapists, workshop leaders, authors and speakers, Drs. Bader and Pearson are dedicated to helping couples create extraordinary relationships. They educate, enlighten and entertain while presenting innovative theory and techniques for improving relationships. Over the past 30 years they have trained therapists throughout the United States, Europe, South America and Australia in couples therapy. They have had multiple opportunities to practice what they preach, because they have been married to each other for 24 years and have worked together for 22 years.
Drs. Bader and Pearson are the originators of The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. Their first book, In Quest of the Mythical Mate: A Developmental Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment in Couples Therapy, was a recipient of the Clark Vincent Award for an outstanding literary contribution to he field of marital therapy from the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. Their most recent book, Tell Me No Lies, teaches couples to take charge of their relationship and to work together toward mutually defined goals and values. Drs. Bader and Pearson have been quoted in multiple national publications and have been featured on over 50 radio and television programs including The Today Show and CBS Early Morning News.
Dr. Ellyn Bader served on the Clinical Faculty at Stanford University, Department of Psychiatry, for 8 years. She is the past President of the International Transactional Analysis Association. Dr. Peter Pearson served as an Associate Consulting Professor at Stanford University, School of Counseling Psychology, for 11 years. He has been conducting the very popular couples workshop, Coming From Your Heart, for 18 years.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Difficult couples challenge therapists with their aggressive interactions,demands for intimacy, chronic feelings of hurt and their high degree of sensitivity to confrontation. The main trap for therapists is getting caught in the bottomless well of negativity in which these struggling couples seem trapped.
In this workshop, Drs. Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson will demonstrate how to use a developmental approach to start and, more importantly, sustain positive momentum with high-distress couples. They will illuminate a model based on four pillars of change:
1) Helping the couple define a vision for their
relationship that will stand as a vital reference point to maintain more positive collaboration throughout therapy;
2) Targeting and resolving specific intrapsychic impasses;
3) Changing the systemic process for discussing highly charged emotional issues; and
4) Developing new targeted skills that support effective negotiation and decision-making.
Ellyn and Peter will also describe and demonstrate how to effectively use six different types of confrontation to impact entrenched negative patterns. Participants will learn to take a stronger leadership role at the outset of treatment so that couples change faster with less conflict and more cooperation. Case transcripts, videotapes of actual therapy sessions and simulated role playing will all be used to demonstrate these principles. You will also learn innovative applications of recent brain neuroscience. These interventions are specifically designed for couples. The result is collaborative change that is more efficient and easier than conventional cognitive, behavioral and psychodynamic approaches.

Hosted By
Pronto Seminars
PRONTO SEMINARS organizes and hosts continuing education (CE and CME) workshops and retreats in Italy. Distinguished faculty, participants and their families come from all over the world to enjoy high quality experiential content at a relaxed pace. We provide an affordable way to combine work, travel and relaxation.
Our classes are small and designed so that your afternoons and evenings are free to wander through the countryside, have a wonderful meal, or visit a museum. Our participants tell us that learning in this environment, at a relaxed pace, allows for a full integration of new material and practices.
We are known for creating an intimate setting where presenters are available in a less formal way and where colleagues from around the globe become friends and get to know each other while enjoying the delights of Italy. This model provides a contrast to large conferences, and our participants have encouraged us to continue in this direction.
In September 2012 we are looking forward to enjoying Tuscany and Umbria! Our venues are nestled in the hills, "off the beaten path", yet only 15 minutes by car from historic centers.
English is the main language of our workshops. Space is limited.
