Austin PACT TRAINING

A Psychobiological Approach To Couples Therapy^®

2011

A Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy® (PACT) focuses on early attachment and its effect on brain and nervous system development as well as specific neuroendocrine issues related to interpersonal stress. The PACT methodology emphasizes enactment of experience over cognition or psychological interpretation. Interventions often entail therapeutically staged moments intended to trigger arousal and implicit somatoaffective experience and memory. A psychobiologically-trained clinician meticulously attends to each patient’s moment-to-moment variations and shifts in affect and arousal as observed in the face, body, and voice. In couples work especially, these macro and micro state changes occur extremely fast. Among many other things, this training will enable clinicians to discover and analyze psychobiological cues or “tells” and other bottom-up (implicit) processes that reveal what top-down (explicit) approaches cannot.
