Couples Counseling: Using the Power and Intimacy Formula
John Lucas
This seminar will offer a simple but all-encompassing formula for therapy and assessment. This formula ideally applies to couple's work. Examples of assessment and application of the formula will be offered in the presentation. The presentation will also present a useful integration of psychology and Christianity for clients with a Christian framework.
