Abstract: This article examines case conceptualization in Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) to facilitate couples' healing and growth and how it serves as a structured framework that organizes a couple's history, attachment patterns, and presenting problems into a coherent therapeutic narrative. The conceptualization process highlights recurring relational patterns, offering insight into how these conflicts can become opportunities for growth. Through tools like the Imago Dialogue and integration of neuroscience findings, couples are guided toward greater empathy, emotional safety, and conscious communication. A sample case illustrates the use of case conceptualization, including the use of predictive factors to understand possible roadblocks to effective treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
