Duo project is part of the psychological counselling system for couples. Its goal is the improvement of dysfunctional communicative situations. It’s a system composed by tablets and smartphones that working interconnected allow the councelor to get closer to the couple itself. Thanks to a series of specific functions, partners can easily record events and emotions related to episodes of ineffective communication.
This information stored and shared, will allow the councelor to examine the dynamics of the couple both during the week and from a more intimate point of view.
In this way the councelor may use a tool, based on the “four-sides model”, to help the couple in developing a widen gaze on how to dialogue with the partner.
