Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt 11.08.2008 05:54



IMAGO Relationship Theory identifies the core problem in intimate partnerships as ruptured connection. All the processes and procedures of IMAGO therapy are designed to help heal the connectional rupture. Based on couples research and a synthesis and expansion of the relational insights of major Western psychological systems and spiritual traditions, Imago Relationship Therapy helps posits relationship, rather than drives or instincts as foundational, and helps couples restore connection and recover personal wholeness.

 

This lecture will describe the development of Imago Relationship Theory and Therapy and illustrate with videos some basic clinical processes. Attention will also be paid to the international expansion of Imago and the development of Imago Relationships International.
