IMPLICIT COMMUNICATION PROCESSES IN COUPLES AND COUPLE

THERAPY

M. Shimmerlik, Ph.D.

At this point in the evolution

of our field, developments in psychoanalysis and family systems, as well as

findings from cognitive neuroscience and research in infant development are

pointing to convergences in our understanding of the human experience. One

central point of convergence has been the understanding of implicit modes of

experience, particularly as this relates to affective communication. Through

the lens of couples and couple therapy, this presentation examines the ways in

which the patterning of couple and family relationships takes place in the

implicit or enactive domain through nonconscious communication processes. This

presentation then explores some clinical implications of implicit processes in

terms of the dynamics of the couple as well as the triad of the therapist and

the couple.
