Intimate Strangers
Therapy Work with Intercultural Couples
Recorded Friday 22 January 2021
With Dr Reenee Singh
CE Credits: 2 hours
In the UK, 2.3 million people are living with or married to somebody from a different ethnic group, and one in ten relationships is intercultural. The figures for London are even higher and it is predicted that by 2030, 50 percent of people living in the capital will be foreign-born.
It is important to emphasise the strengths and resiliencies in intercultural couple relationships and not to assume that difficulties in an intercultural couple relationship are rooted in cultural differences.
READ MORE...However, intercultural couples may be faced with unique challenges and there is a growing need for psychotherapists working in multicultural contexts to acknowledge and work with these. Psychotherapy with couples needing help can sometimes reach an impasse when the two people in the relationship feel like intimate strangers. Possibly the very qualities that drew them together are the ones that can lead to chasms of misunderstanding between them.
Drawing on research findings, clinical vignettes and experiential exercises, this webinar will focus on the themes and processes in intercultural couples and the dilemmas these may pose for couples and the clinicians working with them. The webinar will equip therapists with effective interventions, will include consideration of self-reflexivity and therapist’s positioning when working with intercultural couples.
