Description
In the last decade, two models of couples therapy have developed from different conceptual and therapeutic paradigms: AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems). Each of these models blend exploration of inner and outer systems in the domains of body, psyche and relational context. Yet they are distinct: based on different conceptual premises, characteristic practices, and ideas about pathways for healing and transformation.
This workshop will provide an introduction and deepening understanding of each of these models, blending teaching with demonstration, theory with application. Similarities and differences between models will be elaborated in the service of exploring how the ideas and practices of one model can potentially enrich and deepen those of the other. Additionally, there will be exploration of whether these models can be blended and how, in order to strengthen therapists’ awareness and intention around particular clinical interventions in couples therapy.
From an AEDP perspective:
Discover ways to enhance mutual empowerment across gender lines in the individuals and couples you see.
Learn about key elements of AEDP for Couples into your work.
Learn about the 4 States of AEDP and the 7 Channels of Experience together.
From an IFIO persepctive:
Learn about the basic principles of IFS therapy and how they enhance couples work.
Learn about how to track inner patterns that create problematic interactions in couples.
Learn ways to invite partners to do a U Turn, allowing deep, transformative inner work that enhances intimacy.

Speaker Descriptions
David Mars, PhD entered the study of AEDP, developed by Diana Fosha, in 2005 after thirty years as a process-oriented, somatically and empathically-focused couple and individual psychotherapist. David has developed innovative techniques of integrating the body into couple therapy to deepen the relationally attuned experience of people in treatment. He is the developer of AEDP for Couples and leads workshops nationally and internationally on that topic.
Ann E. Drouilhet, LICSW, LMFT has been a Practice Assistant for numerous Level 1 and Level 2 IFS trainings.

In the early 1990’s Ann was a core faculty member at the Kantor Family Institute in Cambridge MA teaching famly therapy in the Level 1 Didactic and Supervision seminars. As a practicing Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 1990, it has been the introduction to and immersion in IFIO that has increased her her passion for working with couples and her desire to help other therapists master the model.

- Participants will be able to define two similarities and differences between the IFS and AEDP approaches
OUTLINE OF THE DAY
9:00-11:00
General introduction to the power of these two models and the structure of the day. David Mars, through didactic presentation and video will summarize and demonstrate the distinguishing axioms, practices and goals of AEDP in general and specifically the AEDP approaches to couples therapy which he developed.
11:00-11:15
Break
11:15-12:30
David Mars will utilize edited video that shows the treatment of a couple in which patriarchy was a prominent challenge in the relationship. This accelerated treatment demonstrates the healing power of love to reunite a couple broken apart by multiple re-enactments of complex trauma from early life. Witness how this couple from India steps out of a year of acrimonious divorce into a freshly loving, mutually respectful, stable relationship, reunited with their two sons in one home. You will aslo see how the power of an AEDP portrayal with the male in this couple turns the tide in one individual session.
12:30-1:30
Lunch provided on site
1:30-2:30
Ann Drouihet, through didactic presentation and showing video, will summarize and demonstrate the distinguishing characteristics of IFS approaches to couples therapy, specifically the Intimacy From the Inside Out model developed by Toni Herbine-Blank. You will witness how the therapist facilitates the couples' ability to see how parts of them are getting in the way of the intimacy they desire. In addition, you will see how the IFS model allows partners to deepen their inner attachment relationship thus being more available for connected partnership.
2:30-2:45
Break
2:45 to 3:45 Ann continues to demonstrate the IFIO model using video.
3:45-4:30
Through interactive dialogue with participants, we will explore and highlight ways these models potentially enrich and enhance each other theoretically and clinicially
