The PACT Institute's Couple Therapy Training Sessions for 2016 are Open for Registration
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 16, 2015 -- The Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy® (PACT) Institute has officially announced that its 2016 PACT training sessions are open for registration. The PACT Institute has trained more than 1,000 marriage and family therapists, social workers, counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists from all over the world in the PACT methodology.
PACT is a fusion of attachment theory, developmental neuroscience and arousal regulation, which aims to promote secure-functioning relationships based on the principles of sensitivity, fairness, justice, collaboration and true mutuality. PACT specifically focuses on evoking experience for couples through social cues, movement exercises, conflict enactments, and other psychodramatic techniques.
“We train PACT therapists to find the root of the problem quickly and efficiently so that couples can restore their relationship to secure-functioning condition as attentive and supportive partners for one another,” explained The PACT Institute’s founder, Dr. Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, a best-selling author, therapist and researcher.
The PACT Institute’s faculty members are all highly skilled therapists with successful private practices and have undergone extensive PACT training with Tatkin.
The PACT Institute is offering the following 2016 courses in Austin, TX; Berkeley, CA; Boulder, CO; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; Santa Fe, NM; Seattle, WA; and Toronto, Canada:
