Teaching Couples Counseling: An Integrative Model

Lynn L. Long

Judith A. Burnett

Stetson University

Traditionally, training in couples counseling has not received equal status as other counseling modalities. Recently, there is renewed interest in specific training for couples counseling as more emphasis is placed on the stability of couple relationships as an important factor for helping families and children function in a society of frequent divorce and escalating school-related violence. Similar to group work, couples counseling has emerged as a discipline that combines theoretical elements and strategies. This article describes teaching couples counseling using an integrative model that is strength-based and solution-focused and helps couples progress through distinct stages and move from the notion of "we have a problem" to "we have a solution."

Key Words: couples counseling • integrative model • teaching counseling
