Open Lecture • IBCT

Couples Therapy Firsthand: An Open Lecture by Dr. Andrew Christensen

An introduction to one of the most authoritative and scientifically validated approaches in modern couples therapy

World-renowned couples therapy expert Dr. Andrew Christensen (UCLA) invites you to an open lecture devoted to IBCT — Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy.

IBCT was developed by Andrew Christensen together with Neil Jacobson. The method is recommended by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and is included in the American healthcare system. The approach combines behavioral work with deep emotional transformation, and is applied in acute crises, chronic conflicts, emotional distancing, the aftermath of infidelity, and other complex situations in a couple's relationship.

At the lecture Dr. Christensen will share the history and philosophy of IBCT and present a certification program, available for the first time to specialists in the Russian-speaking world. The program has already begun, and it is still possible to join.

Who this lecture is for

For professionals working with couples, supervisors, and students of psychotherapeutic disciplines

This is a unique opportunity:

  • to hear about the method directly from its creator
  • to ask Andrew Christensen questions in person
  • to become part of the first Russian-speaking cohort of IBCT therapists

The certification program has already begun — joining is still possible
