Conflict Resolution

January 30th, 2009  |  

Dear Members and Visitors to GoodTherapy.org,

Today a virtual gathering of 112 GoodTherapy.org Members enjoyed the second teleconference in our 2009 Teleconference Series: ‘Conflict Resolution: Skills for Couples & Counselors’ presented by Susan Heitler, Ph.D. Thank you Susan for sharing your work and teaching us about the art of conflict resolution.

Dr. Susan Heitler, Ph.D. graduated from Harvard in 1967, earned a masters degree in education at Boston University and then a doctorate in psychology from New York University. Susan has been a private practice clinical psychologist in Denver for 30 plus years and has made significant contributions to the theory and practice of psychotherapy. Her primary mission has been to highlight for therapists the importance of becoming an expert at conflict resolution.

Susan first set forth her integrative conflict-focused theory of emotional health and treatment in her 1990 book From Conflict to Resolution. Along with The Angry Couple, a training video that shows Susan using her treatment methods with a difficult couple, From Conflict to Resolution has influenced the work of many therapists.

Susan‘s subsequent book, The Power of Two, teaches the skills that lead to marriage success. With her psychologist daughter Abigail Heitler Hirsch Ph.D. she has also co-authored a Power of Two workbook, a Power of Two curriculum guide for teaching marriage skills workshops, and a video, The Win-Win Waltz, that trains therapists who would like to augment their practice by leading marriage skills workshops.

Susan has spoken internationally in Europe and the Middle East, and her new book The Power of Two is now published in 6 foreign language editions.

Thanks again to Susan and all of you who attended today’s event,
Noah :)

    I would love to know about some other resources offering any ideas on conflict resolution between parents and teenage children. Does anyone have any suggestions what kinds of reading material or authors I should begin with?

    It’s great to have speakers and authors who are willing to help couples and relationships. I think all couples would benefit from this. This information is greatly appreciated.

    There is so much now days on relationships, marriages and conflicts.. If more programs and information would be given on conflict resolution, it would be a big help to a lot of us.

    I think we should all learn how to cope and deal with conflict whether in our own relationships with our significant other or with family members.

    Looks like a good and helpful read. There are a lot of marriage workshops and self help books available out there but ultimately the most important thing is for the couple to have the willingness to work on their relationship.
