This video offers therapists how to address gender, money, and power in clinical work with couples in crisis.

Full Description:   

This video is in the groundbreaking video series in which Betty Carter--an internationally renowned therapist, teacher, and author--shows therapists how to address gender, money, and power in clinical work with couples in crisis. The other two videos in the series are Who's In the Kitchen: Helping Men Move Toward the Center of Family Life and Addressing Economic Inequalities in Marriage: A New Therapeutic Approach. Immensely useful and skillfully presented resources, the programs draw upon the clinical expertise of Carter and producer Steve Lerner, practicing family therapist and founding director of Menninger Video Productions.

Clinical vignettes portraying moving counseling sessions with two couples in crisis richly illustrate Carter's innovative approaches for:
• Conducting brief assessments using her multicontextual framework, which takes into account family lifecycle, family of origin, and sociocultural factors.
• Helping two-income couples to uncover, examine, and address "hidden" issues of gender, money, and power in their relationships.
• Making appropriate, meaningful therapeutic interventions.
• Coming up with workable solutions for resolving conflict and arriving at mutually desirable arrangements in home life, work life, and child rearing.
