42.1 Monica McGoldrick Conducts Couple Therapy

In couple therapy, the therapist works with two individuals who are in a long-term relationship to help resolve and try to improve problems in their relationship. In this video you will see excerpts from several sessions of couple therapy conducted by renowned family and couple therapist and theorist Monica McGoldrick. The couple in therapy, who have been married for 12 years, are having significant conflicts in their relationship, including the wife’s belief that her husband is increasingly distancing himself from her and is not interested in listening to her, and the husband’s belief that his wife is repeatedly very critical of him.
