Kill the Stickleback Fish in your relationship: Couples Communication for individuals facing illness

Using the wildly predictable stickleback fish as an example, Shapiro illustrates the common communication and intimacy patterns many couples encounter when they face cancer or other serious medical illnesses. Drawing from the scientific literature, his experiences treating numerous couples facing illness, and his own experience as both cancer patient and the spouse of a cancer patient, he brings a realism, specific skill training, and humor to complex patterns.

For lay audiences. Keynotes and Workshops. 40 minutes to full days. Any size audience for keynote, 30 or fewer (both members of the couple need not be present as participants focus on their own patterns).
