Description
UTILIZE ATTACHED TREATMENT PLAN
Based on the theory demonstrated in one of the humanistic/experiential media resources:In this video, Napier works with one such couple, Bill and
Pat. Bill’s recent heart attack has sent this couple into crisis mode—Bill
doesn’t want Pat involved with his health, which triggers Pat’s deep-seated
rage to boil over, leading Bill to shut down, which in turn further infuriates
Pat. Napier provocatively warns them that this spiral may result in Bill having
another heart attack, thereby solving both their problems. He highlights the
behaviors that they each need to change, then secures a commitment from them
both to begin regular couples therapy in order to end the dangerous cycle.

Based on the theory demonstrated in the emotionally-focused media:In this video, Johnson works with a couple on the brink of
divorce. Leslie says she can’t take Scott’s explosive temper anymore; Scott
says he thinks Leslie sees him as “just a mean and nasty guy.” Johnson helps
Leslie communicate that it is not Scott she can’t be close to, but his temper
that keeps her away. As Johnson helps Scott explore “softer” emotions hidden
underneath his anger, the couple discovers how difficult it is to traverse this
foreign territory. Nonetheless, Johnson’s persistent and gentle coaching helps
them to take risks and begin to connect in ways they’ve never experienced
before, providing a spark of hope that they can reverse their downward spiral.
