Can empirical research guide clinicians in how to conduct effective couple therapy? While we know that couple therapy works, understanding the mechanisms of action—how and why it works—has been the focus of research for several decades. Using Doss's framework for understanding the key components of the change process—therapy change processes, client change processes, mediators, and outcomes—we reviewed 48 quantitative couple therapy process studies over a 40-year period. The results reveal a fragmented knowledge base. No single study examines the entire process of change, and although several findings show promise, none have been replicated. Additionally, only a limited number of hypothesized associations achieved statistical significance, with neither theory nor empirical evidence adequately explaining why some hypotheses were supported while others were not. Current couple therapy process research cannot yet guide clinicians on how to conduct effective therapy. Until it does, the divide between research and practice will persist.

实证研究能否指导临床医生如何进行有效的夫妻治疗?尽管我们知道夫妻疗法是有效的,但了解其作用机制--如何以及为何有效--一直是几十年来研究的重点。利用多斯的框架来理解改变过程的关键组成部分--治疗改变过程、客户改变过程、中介和结果--我们回顾了 40 年间的 48 项定量夫妻治疗过程研究。研究结果表明,知识基础是支离破碎的。没有一项研究对整个改变过程进行了研究,尽管有几项研究结果表明了改变的前景,但没有一项研究结果得到了重复。此外,只有数量有限的假设关联达到了统计意义上的显著性,理论和经验证据都无法充分解释为什么有些假设得到了支持,而有些却没有。目前的夫妻治疗过程研究还不能指导临床医生如何进行有效的治疗。在此之前,研究与实践之间的鸿沟将持续存在。

Identifying Informal Help-Seeking Patterns in African American Couples

While African American couples are less likely to seek formal resources, such as couples therapy, that does not mean they do not seek relationship support. The literature suggests that informal or community resources play a large role in supporting African American couples. Yet, up to this point, quantitative research has yet to identify specific factors that increase informal couple help-seeking for African Americans. To address this gap, we examine how discrimination, racial identity, and religiosity are associated with informal couple help-seeking. We use two distinct types of common informal couple help-seeking (1) seeking help from a religious community and (2) seeking help from family and friends. Our study also attends to a meaningful aspect of couple help-seeking—relationship interdependence—via an actor-partner interdependence model (APIM). Our findings highlight the importance of informal resources in supporting African American relationships and the interdependent nature of couple help-seeking.

This study investigates the complex relationships among myths of romantic love, satisfaction, jealousy, infidelity, and involvement in romantic relationships using both undirected and directed network analyses. A Gaussian Graphical Model and a Directed Acyclic Graph were employed to explore these interconnections in a sample of young Peruvian individuals in romantic relationships (n = 386). Results indicate that satisfaction emerges as a key starting point in the directed network, influencing involvement, infidelity, and jealousy. Satisfaction and involvement are central nodes in the undirected network, shaping overall relationship dynamics. The study also reveals that unrealistic beliefs about love and idealized expectations are associated with negative interactions and lower satisfaction, which in turn relates to higher infidelity and jealousy. These findings suggest that strengthening satisfaction may play a crucial role in mitigating negative interaction patterns and fostering healthier relationships.

Attachment insecurities and heightened negative emotions during conflict are significant risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV). Previous research mainly examined each partner's attachment separately and overlooked negative emotions as a mechanism in the attachment–IPV link. This dyadic observational study conducted among 178 young adult couples examined (1) the interplay between both partners' attachment (i.e., pairings) in association with their IPV perpetration and (2) the contribution of negative emotions during a conflict discussion in these associations. Results revealed that one's avoidance was positively linked with their IPV only when their partner showed low levels of avoidance. One's avoidance was also indirectly associated with their own IPV through their own negative emotions, and to their partner's IPV via their partner's negative emotions. Finally, one's anxiety was indirectly linked with their own IPV through their own negative emotions. Findings support prevention and intervention strategies for IPV that target attachment and negative emotions.

Relational teaching emphasizes the development of the student in the context of the teacher-student relationship. Given that the field of marriage and family therapy (MFT) emphasizes relationships as central to the discipline, relational teaching practices provide an approach for MFT educators to train relationally attuned, socially just clinicians. We conducted a narrative review of published research from 2003 to 2023 on the conceptualization and application of a relational teaching framework in mental health clinical education programs. After screening, a total of 25 articles were identified for analysis. Four themes were identified within the literature: (1) using isomorphism to teach relational skills, (2) addressing power, (3) course application, and (4) obstacles to implementation. The findings of this study suggest that applying a relational framework to MFT education capitalizes on systemic concepts of isomorphism and social justice, conceptualizing the teacher-student relationship as a means to train students in relational processes that are essential in therapeutic relationships.

Scholars from counseling fields have long urged therapists to recognize the moral imperative of promoting justice and co-creating a more equitable society. Because of their systemic lens, couple, and family therapists (CFTs) are uniquely poised to create systemic change. Scholars in the CFT field have underscored the importance of social justice for decades. However, little empirical evidence exists in the CFT field on how social justice is being prioritized. Using Freire's critical consciousness, this study explores CFT's social justice practices utilizing a national sample of CFTs (n = 22). This study investigates how participants define social justice, develop critical consciousness, address oppression, and practice advocacy. Clinical implications for CFTs to provide culturally responsive services and improve advocacy are discussed.

Cumulative childhood trauma (CCT) increases the risk of relationship difficulties in adulthood. Couples welcoming a new child are particularly prone to relationship distress, and CCT survivors may be especially vulnerable during this period. This study examined the association between CCT and relationship satisfaction and tested the role of parental alliance in this association. A random sample of 1136 different-gender parental couples completed online self-report questionnaires. Path analyses guided by the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model revealed that parents' CCT was associated with their own lower relationship satisfaction through their own and their partner's parental alliance in both mothers and fathers. Results also revealed dyadic associations between one parent's CCT and their partner's relationship satisfaction through their own and their partner's parental alliance. These findings support the relevance of couple interventions focusing on the parental alliance to improve relational well-being in parental couples where one or both partners have experienced CCT.

Family rituals are meaningful interactions with benefits for individuals and families. Previous research has linked family ritual meaning with quality of life (QoL), yet the mechanisms that explain this association are not fully known. The present research examined parental burnout, an exhaustion disorder related to parenting, as a mediator in the association between family ritual meaning and QoL. Participants were 109 Portuguese married couples with at least one child up to 18. Partners individually completed the Family Ritual Questionnaire, the Parental Burnout Assessment, and the EUROHIS-QOL-8. The results showed that women attributed more meaning to family rituals and reported higher levels of parental burnout than men. Family ritual meaning was negatively associated with parental burnout and positively associated with QoL, for both partners. The mediation analysis showed that family ritual meaning was associated with QoL, directly and indirectly via parental burnout. Findings can contribute to strengthening evidence-based interventions with families.

Affordances and Opportunities for Relational Wellness
IF 1.8 3区 心理学 Q2 FAMILY STUDIES Pub Date : 2025-02-04 DOI: 10.1111/jmft.70004
Karl Tomm, Lance Taylor

This paper explores the concept of “affordances” for relational healing that clients implicitly bring with them to therapy. It highlights the therapist's perception of such affordances as a first step toward conceiving of opportunities to take certain initiatives to enable relational wellness. As therapists become increasingly aware of the multiple possibilities that clients afford them to intervene, they are more liable to utilize such opportunities when doing therapy. By sharpening their observational skills to perceive these affordances, therapists may more readily conceive of associated therapeutic opportunities and initiate relevant interventions. We start with some background theory and then present a few vignettes of clinical work to illustrate the application of these concepts in the course of family therapy.

Although coercive control has been studied in unhealthy relationships, all couples navigate some amount of control and freedom as they interact. Varied prevalence estimates and definitions of control suggest a need to better define the continuum of control in mild and extreme forms, including non-physically violent forms of control. The purpose of this qualitative study was to expand knowledge of control in relationships by examining the whole continuum of partners' experiences of control and freedom. Using constructivist grounded theory methods, data on control and freedom from 66 semi-structured interviews were analyzed to examine how partners describe control and freedom in their relationships. Findings highlighted nuanced forms of emotional abuse within the continuum of control and the value of openness and support in developing freedom. Clearer conceptions of milder and non-physical forms of control may aid clinicians in identifying elusive processes of control and helping partners support each other's freedom.
