Using a sports metaphor, this paper describes how infant observation may teach couple therapists to appreciate what is going on in front of their eyes, to learn to tolerate the disturbing, disquieting feelings that are evoked and, most importantly, to find a way to use these feelings when working with couples. It demonstrates how the experience of infant observation helps the couple therapist stay focused on the here-and-now experience within and between a couple and within and between the couple and the couple therapist. It emphasizes the importance of not getting lost in the content of the latest squabble - a commonly experienced difficulty in couple therapy - but rather to maintain quiet reflection in the face of the primitive anxieties kicked-up in couple treatment. Lastly, it argues for including infant observation in the training of couple therapists. |
