This training in discernment counseling is intended to prepare you for effectively guiding mixed agenda couples through a short term (1-5 sessions) intentional decision making process regarding the future of their relationship, and then transition with them as they continue forward into either a full commitment to couples therapy or ending the relationship with as much dignity and intentionality as possible. Dr. Davenport will take you through the Discernment Counseling protocol from beginning to end.

This workshop will provide a framework for navigating common ethical and legal challenges related to divorce that are faced by play therapists. Key differences will also be highlighted regarding how play therapists are likely to be engaged during adversarial, litigated divorces compared to non-adversarial divorces (eg, collaborative and early intervention mediation) so that play therapists can avoid being choked by their superhero capes.
