High-Conflict Couples Masterclass: Treatment Strategies for Destructive Conflict & Repair (RV)
Dr. Marty Klein
- Recorded Webinar
Overview:
Some couples don’t just fight — they damage their relationship almost every time they do. The same arguments. The same escalation. The same aftermath. And you’re left exhausted, wondering if anything you’re doing is actually helping.
This 6-hour training gives you practical, proven strategies for working with high-conflict couples. Learn why some couples turn conflict into a destructive, adversarial battle — and how to transform it into a collaborative process that strengthens the relationship instead of tearing it apart. Understand the architecture of intimacy, the features of healthy vs. unhealthy conflict, and the existential issues (such as fear of vulnerability, powerlessness, desire for meaning) that drive couples to attack each other instead of support each other. You’ll also learn Fair Fighting guidelines, how to work with narratives and “triggering,” and specific clinical skills for the high-conflict couples that leave most therapists burned out.
Designed for licensed mental health professionals who work with couples and want practical strategies that actually work — even with these really difficult cases.
Objectives:
- List features of healthy conflict.
- List and explain the personal skills necessary for couples to engage in healthy conflict.
- Describe the concept of Fair Fighting and how it can lead to positive outcomes.
- Describe how the concept of “narratives” can contribute to productive conflict.
- List existential issues that can drive couples’ conflict.
- List clinical skills that can lead to positive outcomes with high-conflict couples.
Scope and Limitations Disclosure
This training provides clinical education in evidence-informed strategies for working with high-conflict couples, including frameworks for healthy conflict, Fair Fighting principles, narrative approaches, and existential factors that drive relational dysfunction. While designed to enhance participants’ clinical knowledge and expand couples therapy skills, it does not substitute for supervision, specialty training, or formal couples therapy certification when working with complex or high-risk relational presentations. Participants are responsible for applying all material within their scope of practice, licensing regulations, and professional ethical standards. Completion does not confer independent certification or advanced credential beyond any certificate of completion issued by the sponsoring continuing education provider.

No purchase of these or any additional materials is required to complete this training or receive continuing education credit.
