This seminar will explore the theory and purpose of the analytic frame in couple psychotherapy and consider the ways in which this is similar to and different from work with individual psychotherapy. The frame is an important factor in promoting containment for the couple, as a part of the therapeutic action, and is an important source of information for the therapist. We will also discuss the components of the frame in couple psychotherapy such as scheduling and boundary issues, including confidentiality, whether to meet separately or together with the partners, and the management of consultations with other professionals. 

Participants will learn what a couple assessment is, and what to look for to discover which dynamics the couple struggle with, how motivated they are for psychotherapy, and their willingness to work weekly.

At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Explore the meaning behind setting a frame in psychoanalytic couple psychotherapy
2. Discuss the purpose of setting a frame and how it impacts the course of a psychotherapy treatment for couples
3. Assess a couple for psychotherapy
