Dance of Infidelity

by Bruce Crapuchettes Ph.D. & Francine Beauvoir, Ph.D.

3 disc set ( running time over 4 hours)

**Important note: Intended for clinical purposes only.  Must fax copy of license to (626) 798-2625 or be in Imago Directory to purchase.

 

 

 

"An excellent example of the use of the Imago Process to help couples understand the contextual dynamics of all ruptures in their relationship, including affairs, and to take responsibility for the rupture in their relationship."

-Harville Hendrix, Ph.D.

 

The first in a series of clinical DVDs being produced by The Pasadena Institute to assist Clinical Imago Therapists and licensed psychotherapists in improving their skills.  The Dance of Infidelity is an extraordinary three disc set only made possible because of the courageous openness of the two couples who are willing to share their deepest pain with the psychotherapeutic community for professional study and learning.  Imago relationship Therapy has a basic belief that growth and healing in couplehood comes about through equal sharing of responsibility for the present pain in the relationship, dialogically revealing the wound from childhood that is behind the disruption and learning how to meet each other's unmet needs from childhood.  A major intention of this DVD is that it be used in Imago supervision groups for discussion and learning.

 

Using the Imago paradigm and processes, this three disc DVD set shows Bruce and Francine working with two couples who are recovering from affairs.  They annotate their work with subtitles to help the viewer understand what they are doing.

 

Contents of the 3 disc series:

Disc 1:  Ch 1 - Introduction (setting forth the theory and approach)

               Ch 2 - Beginning to see my part - Parent/Child Dialogue

 

Disc 2:  Ch 3 - Expressing anger and pain - Container Exercise / Holding

               Ch 4 - On the road to healing - Couples Dialogue

 

Disc 3    Ch 5 - Taking Responsibility - Couples Dialogue

  For one DVD set, send $99 plus $3.20 for postage and handling plus $8.17 for California State Tax if you live in California.  Please include a copy of your license or let us know that you are in the Imago Directory.

**Important note: Intended for clinical purposes only.  Must fax copy of license to (626) 798-2625 or be in Imago Directory to purchase.

 

 

 

"Rarely is it possible to see what happens in therapy 'behind closed doors'.  Here is an excellent window into four sessions of what master Imago Therapists do in therapy as they work with a couple deeply conflicted with matters of money and sex."

-Harville Hendrix, Ph.D.

 

The mystery of what happens "Behind Closed Doors" in Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) is revealed in this 8 DVD set where Francine Beauvoir, Ph.D. and Bruce Crapuchettes, Ph.D. film four sessions with two cameras with the same couple as they struggle with their crises around money and sex.  We are often asked by our trainees, "What do you do for an hour and a half with a couple?"  Here you see four full sessions from start to finish with subtitles that tell you each minute throughout the session what we are doing.

Getting The Love You Want: a guide for couples

 

 

Harville Hendrix has written a New York times best seller for couples. This easy to read book is very engaging throughout. It is the type of book that once started is hard to put down. Francine read it to Bruce while driving in the car in late 1989. At the time, though married 22 years, we were on the edge of separation, a reality that was scaring us. It grabbed our attention and we immediately signed up to attend Harville's two-day workshop for couples, called "Getting The Love You Want Couples Workshop."  This transformed our marriage and our lives. Read this book and it may do the same for you!

The Couples Companion: meditations and exercises for Getting The Love You Want

 

  Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt have written a very helpful daily guide that we like to read every morning at breakfast. Rather than date each page, it is designed that you read one page a day in sequence. It is numbered from 1 to 365 so that you can systematically go through Imago work together. We have found it important for our marriage that we do some Imago work each day. This book is a wonderful guide to keep us on track. We strongly recommend it.

  365 Days Of Love

 

  Daphne Rose Kingma has written a classic here. Francine and Bruce have been reading this "daily readings" book for several years now, both after breakfast each morning, and also before every therapy session we have with clients. Each page is filled with gems. The book is so on target that we felt that Kingma must certainly be an Imago Therapist. We wrote to her about our appreciation, and she wrote back a delightful personal note and sent us "True Love" which we also rave about. She isn't an Imago Therapist, but rather than require her to go through the training, we should confer on her an honorary "certification" and learn from her. This is a must read book!

True Love: How to make your relationship sweeter, deeper and more passionate

 

Daphne Rose Kingma sent us this book personally after we wrote to her to tell her how much we have appreciated reading "A Garland Of Love" every morning at breakfast for several years now. "True Love" is a small book with just two pages per topic. It is powerfully written and we have quoted from it frequently. We highly recommend you buy it.

Giving The Love That Heals: a guide for parents

 

  This book of Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt was written in 1997. It also reached the top ten best sellers list of the New York times. It gives a comprehensive understanding of Imago Relationship Therapy and how it applies to parenting. Its main premise is that parents get stuck in their parenting exactly when their children reach the stage of development where they themselves were wounded. The key to unlocking this stuck place is to find healing in their relationship with their partner and then to grow through this difficult developmental stage with their child and thus regain parts of themselves that had been missing.
 

This book is more theoretical than practical, and Francine Beauvoir's, "Raising Cooperative & Self-Confident Children" is a wonderful practical guide and makes an excellent companion to this book. Buy these two books and your family will be transformed. That is, if you actually do what they say.

The Parenting Companion: Meditations and Exercises for Giving The Love That Heals

 

  Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt have written a very helpful daily guide for growth and development for parents. It is patterned after "The Couples Companion" and "The Personal Companion." Rather than date each page, it is designed that you read one page a day in sequence. Therefore, it is numbered from 1 to 365 so that you can systematically get a full understanding of parenting from an Imago perspective by the end of one year. It includes exercises that bring you along the journey of growth and development as a parent. We strongly recommend it.

Magical Child

 

 

This book by Joseph Chilton Pearce is profound and far reaching. Though originally written in the 70's, Francine just came across it recently and is thoroughly taken by it. It is enormously educational about the genius of the child's brain and the stages of development it goes through, and how parents can work in harmony with nature and not against it. Francine strongly recommends it.

Whole Child / Whole Parent

 

This is a serious book on the meaning of personhood by Polly Berrien Berends. It is a book of wisdom for those of us who want to use parenthood as a path to spiritual growth. It is a bit philosophical so may not be for everyone. But if the world of ideas and spirituality intrigues you, this book is for you. In addition, it offers many practical ideas. A true classic!

Keeping The Love You Find: a personal guide 

 

 

  This is Harville Hendrix' second book which also became a New York times best seller. It is geared for individuals and is a powerful guide to help one remain in an intimate relationship. It may be somewhat easy to get a date, but do you know how to develop and keep a relationship that you want? Popular seminars say that the key is "finding the right person." Hendrix says that the key is "becoming the right person." This is much more difficult. Personal change and growth is hard work! Most of us want to grow, change, and mature, but we just don't know how to go about it. This is a step-by-step guide including exercises for personal growth. Buy this book, and you may never be the same.
