assignment 4: 1: One problem with our article is that there is not methods section to the article at all. I thought that this was very disappointing being that there are going to be people who want to learn how to implement this type of therapy into their clinical work.

3: 1- aside from what imago therapy is what are other things you could include in the introduction of the topic to make it less confusing?

• Aside from defining the topic, you should link it to theory, and indicate if it has research support.

2- I want to make sure that we are using the correct page to discuss are topic and the changes that we make to the wiki page. Do we post the assignments on the sandbox page (here) and then write what we added and what we did on the sandbox page in the talk page?

• You are doing this on the correct page. Just follow the instructions and if you need help just ask me.

3-would you prefer our sources to be uniformed and in APA citation or MLA citation?

• References and citations should be in Wikipedia format. You should have gone through some training for this. Look at the Wiki Ed page or my materials on the Bb site. J.R. Council (talk) 07:47, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Assignment 4

One Problem/Issue With The Article: A problem with the article is that there is no history on imago therapy. How was it developed? Why was it developed? Who developed it? Who was the first to research it? What was research at the beginning like? I have so many questions and no answers.

Question 1: Can we change the title of the page to 'Imago Relationship Therapy' instead of 'Imago Therapy'? Every research article that I've found has referred to it as such.

• I think you can. This is a question for Ian Ramjohn. You can find his contact information on the Wiki Ed Course Page for this course.

Question 2: Do you suggest any sections besides: introduction, history, methods? Could we do a section on future research, or is that too much of an opinion section?

• If there are published papers that discuss future research directions, you can use that information. If it's just your own thoughts, then that is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. J.R. Council (talk) 07:58, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

ASSIGNMENT 7

Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) is a form of romantic relationship and couple therapy that focuses on relational counseling that transforms a conflict into an opportunity to grow and heal. IRT is accessible for all partners in romantic relationship, no matter the sexual orientation. IRT has the goal of allowing couples to understand each others feelings and childhood trauma and wounds on a more empathetic level. Using a deeper level of empathy to understand someone will allow couples to better understand their relationship on a personal level and romantic level. Doing this will allow the couple to better consciously understand their relationship.

Imago Relationship Therapy was developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt. Hendrix is the author of "Getting the Love You Want" A Guide for Couples (1988)', a best-selling book. If you break the definition down: imago is latin for "image" - in this sense it is referring to the "unconscious image of similar love." Hendrix found that there is a connection between the frustrations experienced in adult relationships and the experiences you have during early childhood. Hendrix was hoping to establish the "imago dialogue" within couples relationships so they could move from blame and reactivity, to understanding and empathy so that the couple could create a deeper bound and loving connection. Experiences like frequent criticism or neglect as a child can come up when you're married or in a committed relationship. As a person, you can conquer these problems in individual therapy sessions but they will typically arise again in partnerships. Hendrix says that when you can understand your partners feelings, and childhood experiences, you can begin to "heal your relationship and move toward a more conscious relationship".

This wikipedia page will cover the history of IRT, with additional information on the establishment of IRT. It will also cover the different methods of IRT, how this approach is used in the counseling setting, as well a what previous research has been done.
