ABSTRACT

Couples Drawing Together is an activity based on research describing successful relationships and on the experiential premises of fun, spontaneity, and honest communication. Clients are asked to draw answers to a series of questions designed to assess basic knowledge about their partner and to express how they think and feel about him or her. The goal is to assess the detail and accuracy of clients’ information about one another, assist clients in expressing themselves freely and honestly, explore their feelings of respect and affection for one another, and increase overall positive sentiment in the relationship. The activity is meant to be a playful way to share aspects of each individual and the relationship.
