What are Intercultural Couples?
In the first section of the webinar Renee will define intercultural and interracial couples, illustrating how intercultural couples – both heterosexual and gay – are conceptualised differently in different cultures. We will look at recent research in the area of intercultural, interracial and interfaith relationships. She will draw on literature from the United States as well as a contemporary, multi-site, pan-European study that has explored differences in semantic polarities (Ugazio, 2013) between monocultural and intercultural couples.

What are some of the Motifs in the Lives of Intercultural Couples?
The second part of the webinar will outline some themes and processes for intercultural couples. The most common of these are the meaning of home, constructions of coupleness, religion or faith, language, gender and parenting. Renee will draw on examples from both clinical sessions, and from popular media to illustrate the themes.

16.00
How Should we Work with Intercultural Couples?
This section will begin by acknowledging the complexity of clinical practice with intercultural couples, highlighting the need for the therapist to be aware of the ways in which they position themselves and are positioned in the work. Participants will be encouraged to construct their own culture-grams during this session in order to be provided with at least one concrete tool to take into clinical or supervisory practice.
