Few couples seem as unlikely to profit from therapy as those in which one partner has already decided to leave. Yet, even at this point, a therapist has an opportunity to turn the situation around. In this workshop, you'll learn how to step in even at the 11th hour and help couples with seemingly intractable problems, such as hopelessness, ongoing affairs, and one spouse's unwillingness to seek therapy, resolve their difficulties, recommit to their marriages, and reclaim their lives. We'll explore ways to do couples therapy effectively when you're seeing only one spouse, strategies to use when a husband or wife refuses to end an affair, and a surprisingly potent technique of last resort.
