Hello and welcome to the couple connection dot net video special.
Today I have with me Janet Reibstein, who is a psychologist and psychotherapist, she
is also a Professor at the University of Exeter. Janet I wondered if you could tell us a little
bit about yourself. Ok well I am American by birth, I did all
my training in America, both academic and clinical, but I have spent most of my adult
life as a clinician and researcher here in Britain, and brought up a family in Britain,
so most of my experience is British based. I train mental health professionals at the
University of Exeter, school of Psychology, and I mostly train them to be working with
families and couples, which is what most of my research is on.
Can you tell us a little bit about your involvement with the couple connection?
Yes, my involvement with the couple connection really stemmed from my orginal involvement
with One plue One, which is the UK's leading relationship research organisation, and I
have done a lot of research on couples. I have written five books, most of them have
been directly about couples, in one stage or another in the couple life together, and
I think that's how I became involved in One plus One. As my results of
and looking at what really makes for enduring and satisfying relationships. So out of that
bank of knowledge and also my clinical experience with couples, as a psychotherapist,
I have written a number of articles that are on the website, that can help couples think
about some of the normally occurring, distressing or problematic issues to do with being a couple
over a lifetime together.
