ABOUT THE LECTURE
How the brain, attachment and psychobiology transform couples therapy
How can modern knowledge of brain function, attachment theory and psychobiology be integrated into relationship therapy?
Stan Tatkin, founder of the PACT method, will present a contemporary approach to couples therapy and show how scientific knowledge becomes practical instruments in the psychotherapist's work.
Developmental neuroscience
Understanding how the nervous system shapes partners' reactions and the dynamics of their relationship.
Attachment theory
An analysis of how closeness, trust and a sense of safety are formed within a couple.
Arousal regulation
Working with stress, emotional intensity and the restoration of contact.
Secure Functioning
Building relationships in which safety and collaboration become a shared responsibility of both partners.
At the heart of PACT lies not the conflict itself, but the partners' ability to jointly regulate stress and restore safety within the relationship.
Joint stress regulation
How partners regulate stress together and what happens when this process breaks down.
Restoring contact
How contact is restored after an emotional rupture between partners.
Failures of reconciliation
Why attempts at reconciliation can fail and what lies behind these patterns.
Escalation and the therapist's role
How conflict escalation arises and where a therapist can intervene to shift the dynamic.
Stan Tatkin will show how a therapist can assess the dynamics of a relationship not only through partners' words, but also through observable psychobiological signals.
Special attention will be given to working with couples experiencing the aftermath of psychological trauma, chronic stress, migration, forced life changes and the loss of a sense of safety.
