The Couples Therapy Peer Consultation Group: Patterns in Interpersonal Interactions is a biweekly, 13.5 CE event that will meet in 9 90-minute segments. Karl Tomm and company’s book Patterns in Interpersonal Interactions is a seminal textbook for understanding how to effectively work with couple dynamics, rather than doing individual therapy in the presence of one’s partner. Each group meeting will be a combination of reviewing Tomm’s process (approximately 45 minutes) and sharing one case consultation from a group member (approximately 45 minutes). Each group meeting coincides with a chapter from Tomm’s book: —February 7: Introduction: Origins of the PIPs and HIPs Framework Learning will happen from a combination of two short reviews of the material—one presentation, where the group facilitator will summarize the content, and one from the group, as they make reflections on the content from the week. Participants will be expected to buy the book and read the chapter prior to each group; participants who fail to do this may be asked to leave the group. Participants will also learn how to implement the skills discussed in the book through case studies, role plays, and reflecting team elements. Continuing education units will be distributed to all who attend all 9 sessions. If folks need to miss one session, they will be asked to write a 2-3 page summary about the content from the chapter, and how they plan on implementing this information with a deidentified couple.
