• This workshop will explore these situations and offer therapists a conceptual framework for conducting relationship oriented sessions with one partner present.

• Educational Objectives: How seeing couples with divergent goals conjointly can be detrimental.

• How to motivate the client to take responsibility for change in light of his/her partners’ lack of participation.
