I am not a fan of IC at all when a M is in this much trouble. IC is too often used as exit strategizing with the IC's blessing. They just want their client to be" ha-a-a-a-py."
MWD agrees with you Kimmie :
Taken from p 131 of DR :
Marital therapy requires very different skills than doing individual therapy. Individual therapists usually help people identify and process feelings. They assist them in achieving personal goals. "how do you feel about that" is their mantra.
Couples therapists on the other hand, need to be skilled in helping people overcome the differences that naturally occur when two people live under the same roof. They need to know what makes a marriage tick. A therapist can be very skilled as an individual therapist and be clueless about helping couples change.
