Therapist Statement of Principles

The Doherty Relationship Institute has what we consider a balanced pro-commitment values orientation, and we want prospective clients and collaborating professionals to know about that orientation.

Please review the following statement of principles and decide if you agree with the intent and spirit of the list, even if you might word particular statements differently.

You are free to define marriage to include committed couple relationships that may not be legally recognized as marriage.

Principles about Marriage:(Required)

Yes, I agree.

Healthy marriage is a source of human flourishing for individuals, families, and communities.

Life-long commitment is especially difficult in today’s throwaway culture.

Children have an important stake in the health and endurance of their parents’ marriage.

Marital commitment brings obligations to work on a troubled marriage before giving up.

Principles about Healing in Therapy(Required)

Yes, I agree.

Because marriages have other stakeholders, especially children, it is important for therapists to help couples to see how others are affected by the decisions they make about the future of their marriage.

Principles about Divorce(Required)

Yes, I agree.

Some divorces are necessary in order to prevent further harm in a destructive relationship.

Some divorces are unavoidable because one party chooses the divorce path against the wishes of their spouse.

However, many of today’s divorces could be prevented if both parties took steps to work on their marriage before it was too late.

When clients choose divorce, therapists have a responsibility to make them aware of additional resources, including divorce professionals who can facilitate a fair and healing divorce process.
