Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy: 2-Part Webinar

Join us for a two-part series on Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT). This webinar will include both an introduction to IBCT and an application of this model to an online couples relationship program called OurRelationship.com.


Date and Time: Friday, December 10th from 12:00PM to 3:30PM ET

Sessions:

1. Introduction to Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy
   
   Couples often struggle with navigating partner differences and initiating positive behavioral changes in their relationship. Andrew Christensen, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and distinguished research professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will discuss Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) and how it works towards the twin goals of acceptance and change through a behavioral treatment framework. Christensen will give an overview of the theoretical background of IBCT as well as the assessment, feedback, and active intervention phases of IBCT.
   
   Time: 12:00PM to 1:30PM ET
   
   
2. IBCT & OurRelationship.com: A Model for Integration
   
   Most couples do not seek couple therapy before divorcing; moreover, those that do are often unable to attend a full course of treatment because of logistical or financial barriers. Dr. Brian Doss, professor of psychology at the University of Miami, will present a model for integrating the online OurRelationship program into an abbreviated 8-session course of IBCT. This integration is expected to help overcome significant treatment barriers while maximizing treatment effectiveness.
   
   Time: 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET
