Outline of Completed Article
editIntroduction: Imago relationship therapy is a form of marriage therapy that takes a relationship approach rather than an individual approach to problem solving in a marriage[citation needed]. It was codeveloped by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt, and documented in Hendrix's 1988 book, Getting the Love You Want, A Guide for Couples.[1][unreliable medical source?][2][3][4][medical citation needed] Hendrix and Hunt selected the word "imago," the Latin word for "image," as a name for the "unconscious image of the opposite sex that you had been forming since birth."[5][unreliable medical source?] In February 2012, the BBC aired a Wonderland documentary that included an imago relationship therapy workshop on the cruise ship MS Golden Iris.[6][7][medical citation needed][8][unreliable medical source?]
The introduction will get reworded and we will add information based on new findings
Theory history:
Imago therapy focuses on collaboratively healing childhood wounds couples share.[5] According to Hendrix and Hunt, the human brain has a compelling non-negotiable drive to restore feelings of aliveness and wholeness with which people came into the world.[9][unreliable medical source?] It is believed by imago therapists that a person's brain constructs an image of characteristics from their primary caretakers including both their best and worst traits.[10] The brain's unconscious drive is to repair damage done in childhood, needs not met, by finding a partner who can give us what our caretakers failed to provide.[9] This is why traits of a future partner often reflect our parents' traits. Our unconscious drives towards this to seek healing and to resolve unresolved childhood wounds, in order to grow. In this way, wounds received by a person, from their parents, tend to be re-stimulated by new adult partners and potential partners. The re-stimulation triggers old, unresolved emotions. Both people in the relationship can learn how to heal one another, and appreciate each other for the person they are--and--it takes time. Couples must engage in a specific type of dialogue for Imago therapy to work. The conscious self may not be able to see and understand clearly the reflection of unresolved parental issues in his or her current marriage partner. Nonetheless, our unconscious connects with this person in its best (unconscious) effort to heal old wounds and allow love into your life again.[citation needed]
The theory history section will receive new information as well as be reworded
Methods:
We will add a methods section that will include research, what issues it targets, etc.

editImago relationship therapy is a form of relationship and couple therapy that focuses on relational counseling that transforms a conflict into an opportunity to grow and heal. The goal of the this type of therapy is to allow couples to understand each others feelings and "childhood wounds" with more empathy allowing them to heal not only themselves but the relationship so that they achieve a more conscious relationship. Imago relationship therapy was developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt. Hendrix was hoping to establish the "imago dialogue" within couples relationships so they could move from blame and reactivity, to understanding and empathy so that the couple could create a deeper bound and loving connection. In the history section there will be information on the establish meant of Imago therapy, in the methods section you will find more on how this approach is used in the counseling setting, as well a what previous research has been done. In the help section there will be links for places where people can get connected to professional help with relationship and couple therapy. Dedie10 (talk) 04:27, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
Feedback to Desirae by Liv (Liv Oland (talk) 10:52, 2 April 2019 (UTC))
1. I like that you start with an easy and clear definition, I need to do that to mine. 2. I think you should be more specific than "relationship and couple therapy", romantic relationships? Platonic relationships? Friendships? I think you could take it one step further to define relationship. 3. I think you do a great job giving history, on Hendrix and Hunt. I think you should define "imago dialogue" because that is not a common term - even though we defined what 'imago relationship therapy is' - we don't know what 'imago dialogue is'. 4. Grammatically there seems to be some run on sentences. 5. Overall, awesome lead section!!

editImago Relationship Therapy (IRT) was created by Dr. Harville Hendrix. Hendrix is the author of "Getting the Love You Want" A Guide for Couples (1988)', a best-selling book. If you break the definition down: imago is latin for "image" - in this sense it is referring to the "unconscious image of smilier love." Hendrix found that there is a connection between the frustrations experienced in adult relationships and the experiences you have one early childhood. Experiences like frequent criticism or neglect as a child can come up when you're married or in a committed relationship. As a person, you can conquer these problems in personal therapy sessions but they will typically arise again in partnerships. Hendrix says that when you can understand your partners feelings, and childhood experiences, you can begin to "heal your relationship and move toward a more conscious relationship". This wikipedia page will cover the history of IRT, the different methods of IRT, and a final section with a few sources to therapists that practice IRT. Liv Oland (talk) 10:41, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Feedback for liv by Desirae Dedie10 (talk) 16:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
1. I like the history and the book information that you put in your lead, however maybe this would be more suitable for the History portion? (just an Idea) 2. I would like to see just a straight forward definition of IRT so that readers are able to know what the wiki page is about. 3. I like that you went more in depth on the connection between childhood trauma and the IRT methods and the correlation between the two. Dedie10 (talk) 16:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) is a form of romantic relationship and couple therapy that focuses on relational counseling that transforms a conflict into an opportunity to grow and heal. IRT is accessible for all partners in romantic relationship, no matter the sexual orientation. IRT has the goal of allowing couples to understand each others feelings and childhood trauma and wounds on a more empathetic level. Using a deeper level of empathy to understand someone will allow couples to better understand their relationship on a personal level and romantic level. Doing this will allow the couple to better consciously understand their relationship.
Imago Relationship Therapy was developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt. Hendrix is the author of "Getting the Love You Want" A Guide for Couples (1988)', a best-selling book.

This wikipedia page will cover the history of IRT, with additional information on the establishment of IRT. It will also cover the different methods of IRT ,how this approach is used in the counseling setting, as well a what previous research has been done.

This still needs some work, but you should be ready to proceed with your article after making these changes:
- Proofread! (Example: smilier love - I'm sure you mean "similar."
- Related to proofreading, do some editing to eliminate wordiness.
- Phrase all of this in third person, that is, don't use "you." Say, "a person", or "one".
- Delete the final sentence.
- Add hyperlinks to terms in lead that relate to other Wikipedia pages.
Feedback
edit@Dedie10 and Liv Oland: Nice work on your draft. A few general things
- Wikipedia articles don't introductions - they have lead sections which summarize all the main points of the article.
- Wikipedia articles don't use honorifics like "Dr...." to refer to people. Just use their first and last name the first time you refer to them, and their last name thereafter.
- Section headers should not be capitalized (except for the first word). You also shouldn't capitalize "imago relationship therapy", although it's appropriate to capitalize IRT.
- The "Get help" section has too much of a "how to" feel about it. Wikipedia articles aren't supposed to give advice. You need to change that into a simple description of what sources say about the topic.
