Early recollections are valuable resources for practitioners to enhance further understanding of the interactions related to couple relationships. To illuminate conceptualization for couple therapy, suggestions are made regarding the use of early recollections and the implications for practice. The authors provide a case study in which current research and techniques in the interpretive process are used and discussed.
