Collaborating with Surrogate Partners in the Triadic Model

Title of Event: Collaborating with Surrogate Partners in the Triadic Model
 
Description of Event:
Surrogate Partner Therapy (SPT), a tandem treatment for clients experiencing obstacles to physical and/or emotional intimacy, is an often misunderstood modality.  So much conflicting information exists that it’s hard to assess how it is actually practiced.  When done well, SPT can be transformative for clients who haven’t been able to make progress through any other means, and can speed up the process in others.  So what does it look like to do it well?
 
In this class, through lecture, real life examples, and an example experiential exercise, we illuminate the structure and general arc of this triadic modality.  We examine the role of the clinician at each stage in the process, including: how to assess whether SPT is indicated; how to collaborate with the surrogate partner; and how to avoid some potential difficulties.
