Dr. Stan Tatkin, PsyD, MFT, will provide a keynote presentation – Sewing Partners Together – at the Couples Conference on Friday, May 13, in San Francisco, CA. Dr. Tatkin will demonstrate strategic techniques to help health professionals guide couples toward “secure-functioning”; a term he has coined to describe relationships based on security, sensitivity, justice and fairness, and true mutuality.
“The PACT approach I’ve developed is unique in that we teach therapists how to guide couples through exercises to forge stronger, more fulfilling connections. We show therapists how to empower couples with important skills such as how to become experts on each other, how to read each other’s faces, and how to fight effectively without damaging their relationship,” said Dr. Tatkin.
The annual Couples Conference, which features leading-edge relationship theorists and practitioners, teaches health professionals about differing approaches to couple therapy. Keynote speakers in addition to Dr. Tatkin include Esther Perel and Terry Real, as well as Drs. Helen Fisher, Pat Love, Dan Siegel and Ellyn Bader, who started the Couples Conference with Dr. Jeffrey Zeig.
Dr. Tatkin will join Drs. Love and Fisher on a panel about neuroscience on Friday morning. Following his keynote, Dr. Tatkin will also host a workshop at the conference, Uncovering Deception in Couple Therapy, on Friday afternoon. Finally, Dr. Tatkin will participate in the Meet the Authors reception on Friday evening. Those attending will have the opportunity to meet him in person.

Dr. Tatkin and his wife, Tracey Boldemann-Tatkin, PhD, are cofounders of the PACT Institute. They travel the world training therapists in their unique approach to couple therapy.
