contents Divided we fall: Constructive dialoguing about our political differences within family therapy training Tracey A. Laszloffy Jason J. Platt Journal of Marital and Family Therapy AbstractWidespread political polarization throughout the United States is a threat to the time‐honored democratic tradition of utilizing civil discussion and respectful debate to express divergent views and strive for common ground. The political differences that divide us now are so deep and rife with toxic emotion that they threaten to undermine our social well‐being at both the micro and macro levels. While family therapists are trained to work with relational tensions and to help family members to constructively negotiate their differences, the severity of the hostility and resentment tied to divergent political orientations has made this work increasingly difficult to achieve. This article explores how family therapy training programs can help trainees deepen their capacity for constructive political dialoguing that includes learning how to effectively manage their reactivity to those whose values and views may be dramatically different from their own so that they can support clients in doing the same. 10.1111/jmft.12721 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
