416 What do you do when, in the course of couples therapy, one spouse comes out to the other as gay? In a rush of countertransference, many therapists see divorce as the only option. Yet, given time, such couples may decide to remain together, with certain adjustments. This workshop will explore the treatment issues for the new mixed marriage, from how therapists can recognize their countertransference and keep it from interfering to ways they can tailor therapy to the couple's unique needs. Participants will learn specific interventions to deal with the straight spouse's reactivity and the gay spouse's guilt, and how to help the couple decide what's best for them.
