[nabs-l] Seeking alternative techniques for working with problemswith couples?

[Hope Paulos]

Hi Gerardo. I minored in psych, and just posed the question to my father, 
who has  psych as his major. The key thing when dealing with couples is not 
only the non-verbal communication, but also the verbal communication. I 
don't think it would be difficult to work with couples experiencing 
problems. You're going to be able to sense the tension in the room, or get 
cues from hesitations your prospectiv clients might make.
I hope this helps. I'll try to get more info at a later date-- my father was 
running out the door when I posed the question.
Hope and Beignet
