Abstract

ABSTRACT Combined couples’ therapy is an integrative format of couple therapy where the therapist combines the use of individual and conjoint sessions in therapy. However, little is known about the processes that occur in this type of therapy. In this study, a qualitative analysis of written records was undertaken to identify certain characteristics of combined couples’ therapy themes and goals. There were 15 cases identified for inclusion in this study. The majority of the clients were young educated couples in their first family life cycle stage, from middle to upper socioeconomic status, having dual careers. Results show that while dyadic/systemic issues are discussed in individual and conjoint sessions, the sessions differ in goals addressed. Moreover, certain themes like self-in-marriage concerns, unresolved past conflicts, violence, and resistance for conjoint sessions are addressed exclusively in individual sessions. The findings have implications for individual and conjoint sessions in couples’ therapy.

联合夫妻治疗:个体与联合疗程的质性研究
联合夫妻治疗是一种综合形式的夫妻治疗,治疗师在治疗中结合使用个人和联合疗程。然而,在这种类型的治疗中发生的过程知之甚少。在本研究中,对书面记录进行定性分析,以确定联合夫妇的治疗主题和目标的某些特征。本研究确定了15例病例。大多数客户是受过良好教育的年轻夫妇,处于第一个家庭生命周期阶段,社会经济地位从中高到高,拥有双重职业。结果表明,虽然在单独和联合会议中讨论了二元/系统问题,但会议的目标不同。此外,某些主题,如自我婚姻问题、未解决的过去冲突、暴力和对联合会议的抵制,只能在单独的会议中讨论。这些发现对夫妻治疗中的个人和联合疗程都有启示。
