What Do Gottman, EFT, IMAGO, PACT and the Developmental Model All Have in Common?

Each offers profound insights into love, attachment and repair, yet each tells only part of the story. Couples therapy has developed through powerful but partial lenses, leaving many clinicians wondering how to bring it all together in the therapy room.

This one-hour professional training, led by Steven Dromgool, Clinical Director of Relate and a clinician trained in all five approaches, explores how these models intersect, where they diverge, and how integration rooted in presence represents the next wave of relational healing.

What You’ll Learn

The key strengths and blind spots of each approach
