Institution:

Antioch University-Midwest (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

This workshop will be offered as a one-day, one-credit course. It will be available to all undergraduate students at McGregor without prerequisite course work. The purpose of the workshop will be to prepare students to more effectively resolve conflicts in the families of which they are or have been part. The workshop will attempt to provide students with a combination of the following: Ways of conceptualizing family conflict, An overview of core competencies for managing conflict, Conflict management strategies of particular relevance to intimate couples and families, Opportunities for skill practice in hypothetical conflict situations, and An overview of resources for further study and assistance. This workshop will focus principally on adult couple relationships. However, it will also address methods for engaging younger family members in collaborative problem solving. The workshop will involve only a limited amount of self-disclosure. Participants should not expect the workshop to resemble a therapy group experience or to receive personal advice or coaching. Rather, the workshop will emphasize the development of overarching strategies for resolving family conflicts together with behavioral skill enhancement.
