The Initial Couples Session

We shall elucidate which approaches are best for each particular couple. Couples are quite idiosyncratic along with obvious general similarities.  The initial session is important to begin to comprehend the idiosyncratic quality of each couple. 

We will also articulate the differences between the initial couple, the current couple and the  future couple. along with the problem with hasty diagnostic assumptions, negotiating Initial countertransference issues based on the couple presenting data, age, and emotional style.
