Presented by: Jane R. Rosen-Grandon, Ph.D.

As you have probably noticed, requests for Marriage and Couples Counseling have skyrocketed recently! Following decades of high divorce rates, more couples of all ages and stages are finally seeking relationship counseling before it is too late. As a private practitioner, I have spent the past 10 years developing an educational model for working with couples, known as The Characteristics of Marriage Inventory (CHARISMA).

The CHARISMA Inventory is a tool, which quickly identifies areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in a relationships, helping counselors and therapists more quickly diagnose and establish a working agenda with their couples. The CHARISMA model, developed through research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, identifies Love, Loyalty and Shared Family Values as the main ingredients in Marital Satisfaction. This path model helps couples see the strengths and weaknesses of their relationship, and learn the 6 basic relationship skills - Communication, Affection, Sexuality, Joint Decision-Making, Adjustment to Family Roles, and Conflict Management - which will improve their overall level of marital happiness.

To date, more than 60 of your colleagues have been trained in the use of CHARISMA. As a clearinghouse, my office makes referrals to CHARISMA-trained therapists and counselors on a weekly basis. Good marriage counselors are in demand!

If you are interested in adding CHARISMA to your therapeutic repertoire, please join me on Friday, June 8th, 2007 in Greensboro, NC for a day of training and continuing education (6 CEUs). The early registration price of
