WAMFT Conference Presentation
Dr. Kevin Allemange will present at the 2011 WAMFT Conference on the topic of Financial Hardship, Cognitive Dissonance, and EMDR: A Model for Treatment. Financial problems are one of the most commonly identified difficulties couples report to therapists. Appreciation for social institutions, such as economy, impacting families on micro levels have long been an essential tenet of systems theory. This proposal discusses the importance of recognizing theoretical selection, especially in terms of self-identity and concept, in the overall process of therapy. An examination of how cognitive dissonance develops during times of hardship, and how this may impede therapeutic process is illustrated. The use of EMDR techniques combined with systemic interventions provides one technique more fully resolving cognitive dissonance: likely increasing the effectiveness of therapy.
