Despite the international prominence of emotionally focused couple therapy (EFCT), limited research exists on its acceptability among mental health workers, particularly those from contexts in Africa. This study explored the acceptability of EFCT among Ugandan mental health workers who completed the first-ever 4-day EFCT training in Uganda. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 practitioners to examine (1) how practitioners found EFCT to be acceptable in their personal lives and (2) their views on the model's fit within Uganda's cultural context. Thematic analysis generated five themes that address these research questions. Overall, Ugandan practitioners found EFCT resonant and acceptable in their personal lives and particularly appreciated its focus on accessing emotions as a therapeutic tool. However, they also identified potential challenges in applying the model culturally. This research provides preliminary insights into EFCT's potential acceptability in Ugandan mental health practice and thus, contributes to global literature on EFCT and multiculturalism.

尽管以情感为中心的夫妻治疗(EFCT)在国际上享有重要地位,但关于其在精神卫生工作者,特别是来自非洲的精神卫生工作者中的可接受性的研究有限。本研究探讨了乌干达精神卫生工作者在乌干达首次完成为期4天的EFCT培训后对EFCT的接受程度。我们对23名从业者进行了半结构化访谈,以检查(1)从业者如何发现EFCT在他们的个人生活中是可接受的,(2)他们对该模式与乌干达文化背景的契合度的看法。主题分析产生了五个主题来解决这些研究问题。总体而言,乌干达从业人员发现EFCT在他们的个人生活中引起共鸣和可接受,并特别赞赏其将情感作为治疗工具的重点。然而,他们也发现了在文化上应用该模型的潜在挑战。这项研究为乌干达心理健康实践中有效认知疗法的潜在可接受性提供了初步见解,从而为有效认知疗法和多元文化主义的全球文献做出了贡献。

Parents who are actively involved in their child's mental health treatment are more likely to remain hopeful after treatment (Brown 2023). Conversely, parents who remain more passive and outsource the “fixing” effort to experts demonstrate reduced hope. The Parent Hope Project is a strengths-based family therapy approach to working with parents that promotes parent agency and thoughtful involvement in children's dilemmas. Principles of Bowen family systems theory underpin the role of the clinician working alongside parents to help them draw on their own resources, with the goal for parents to observe and adjust their own part in their family patterns in which their child's symptoms are embedded. This article outlines how theory informs the work of the clinician in the Parent Hope Project and the approach of prioritizing working with parents when there are concerns about a young person. It features case studies from Canada and Australia that illustrate the approach.

积极参与孩子心理健康治疗的父母更有可能在治疗后保持希望(Brown 2023)。相反,那些仍然比较被动并将“修复”工作外包给专家的父母表现出了希望的减少。父母希望项目是一种基于优势的家庭治疗方法,与父母一起工作,促进父母的代理和深思熟虑地参与儿童的困境。Bowen家庭系统理论的原则支持临床医生与父母一起工作,帮助他们利用自己的资源,目的是让父母观察和调整自己在家庭模式中所扮演的角色,其中包含了孩子的症状。这篇文章概述了理论是如何指导临床医生在父母希望项目中的工作的,以及当父母关心一个年轻人时,优先与父母合作的方法。它以加拿大和澳大利亚的案例研究为特色,说明了这种方法。

Delay discounting refers to a tendency to value immediate rewards over delayed rewards. This construct has primarily been applied in the field of behavior analysis to explore a variety of maladaptive, individually oriented behaviors. Although there is a substantial research base of support, there has been little attention paid to delay discounting in the context of relationships. This study represents the first to examine the relationship between delay discounting and several important relationship-oriented variables. We used survey data from 368 participants in an adult romantic relationship to explore this relationship further. Findings revealed that the tendency to discount delayed rewards was related to attachment anxiety, disruptive couple conflict, and lower couple satisfaction, suggesting that delay discounting indeed plays a potential role in adult romantic relationships. Our hope is that delay discounting can emerge as a valuable concept for scholars, researchers, and clinicians within Systemic Family Therapy.

延迟折扣是指比起延迟奖励,更看重即时奖励的倾向。这个结构主要应用于行为分析领域,以探索各种适应不良的、个体导向的行为。虽然有大量的研究基础支持,但很少有人注意到关系背景下的延迟折扣。本研究首次考察了延迟折扣与几个重要的关系导向变量之间的关系。我们使用了来自368名成年人恋爱关系参与者的调查数据来进一步探索这种关系。研究结果显示,对延迟奖励的折扣倾向与依恋焦虑、破坏性夫妻冲突和较低的夫妻满意度有关,这表明延迟折扣确实在成人恋爱关系中起着潜在的作用。我们希望延迟折扣能够成为系统性家庭治疗领域的学者、研究人员和临床医生的一个有价值的概念。

Relational savoring (RS) is a brief, accessible, relationship-based intervention guided by systemic principles. RS may benefit Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) families experiencing relational difficulties. Family ties are often protective for AANHPI groups, yet acculturation-related stress may impede families' ability to leverage this asset. RS has evidenced effectiveness in increasing well-being and relationship quality, but has yet to be tested with AANHPI families. RS may align well with cultural values relevant to AANHPI communities, such as interconnectedness, while also overcoming barriers through its strengths-based approach. This paper outlines the decision-making process used to adapt RS for AANHPI families and emphasizes the role of community feedback. An iterative and rigorous approach is essential to determine whether adaptation is needed and to identify appropriate targets for change. Importantly, enhancing the cultural responsiveness of RS furthers our goal of promoting flourishing and addressing health disparities among underserved families.

关系品味(RS)是一种简短的,可访问的,基于关系的干预,由系统原则指导。RS可能有利于有关系困难的亚裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民(AANHPI)家庭。家庭关系通常对AANHPI群体具有保护作用,但与文化适应相关的压力可能会阻碍家庭利用这一资产的能力。RS在提高幸福感和关系质量方面已被证明有效,但尚未在AANHPI家庭中进行测试。RS可以很好地与AANHPI社区相关的文化价值观保持一致,例如相互联系,同时还可以通过其基于优势的方法克服障碍。本文概述了AANHPI家庭采用RS的决策过程,并强调了社区反馈的作用。确定是否需要适应和确定适当的变化目标,必须采用迭代和严格的方法。重要的是,加强RS的文化响应能力有助于我们促进繁荣和解决服务不足家庭之间的健康差距的目标。

This study examined a structural model linking mindfulness to positive interaction in couple relationships, focusing on the mediating roles of shared relationship activity engagement and relational social connectedness. Despite growing interest in mindfulness and relational outcomes, the mechanisms through which mindfulness fosters positive couple dynamics remain underexplored. Using data from 1328 adults in the southeastern United States, structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to assess the hypothesized pathways. Results demonstrated a good model fit and revealed that individuals' mindfulness was directly associated with greater engagement in shared relationship activities. Furthermore, both shared activity engagement and relational social connectedness significantly mediated the association between mindfulness and positive interaction in couple relationships. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how mindfulness enhances relational functioning and underscore the importance of fostering both interpersonal connectedness and shared relational practices in therapeutic and educational settings aimed at strengthening couple relationships.

本研究考察了夫妻关系中正念与积极互动的结构模型,重点研究了共同关系活动参与和关系社会联系的中介作用。尽管人们对正念和关系结果的兴趣日益浓厚,但正念促进积极夫妻动态的机制仍未得到充分探索。利用美国东南部1328名成年人的数据,采用结构方程模型(SEM)来评估假设的通路。结果证明了一个很好的模型拟合,并揭示了个人的正念与更多地参与共享关系活动直接相关。此外,共同活动参与和关系社会连通性在夫妻关系中正念与积极互动的关系中起着显著的中介作用。这些发现有助于更深入地理解正念如何增强关系功能,并强调了在旨在加强夫妻关系的治疗和教育环境中培养人际联系和共享关系实践的重要性。

One way that couples can maintain relationship satisfaction is by acting according to who they are, or autonomously, within their romantic relationships. However, feeling autonomous can be challenging for romantic partners, especially those with attachment insecurities. In two dyadic and longitudinal studies, we tested whether the daily feeling of being autonomous within romantic relationships accounted for associations between attachment insecurities and daily and over time relationship satisfaction in long-term romantic relationships. Across both studies, dyadic mediation models showed that people higher in attachment avoidance reported less daily autonomy in their relationships and, in turn, reported lower relationship satisfaction daily and 3-months later. In Study 2, people higher in attachment anxiety reported less daily autonomy in their relationships and this was associated with lower satisfaction, both daily and over time. Findings highlight the role of autonomy as one explanation for the lower levels of relationship satisfaction among insecure romantic partners.

夫妻维持关系满意度的一种方法是在他们的恋爱关系中根据他们是谁或自主地行事。然而,感觉自主对恋人来说可能是一个挑战,尤其是那些有依恋不安全感的人。在两项二元和纵向研究中,我们测试了恋爱关系中日常的自主感是否能解释长期恋爱关系中依恋不安全感与日常和长期关系满意度之间的联系。在这两项研究中,二元中介模型表明,依恋回避程度较高的人在日常关系中的自主性较低,反过来,每天和3个月后的关系满意度也较低。在研究2中,依恋焦虑程度较高的人在日常关系中的自主性较低,这与日常和长期满意度较低有关。研究结果强调了自主性的作用,这是对缺乏安全感的恋人关系满意度较低的一个解释。

Revisiting the Five Love Languages Framework: Toward a More Flexible Model of Love Expression 重新审视五种爱的语言框架:走向一个更灵活的爱的表达模式

Despite the widespread popularity of Chapman's Five Love Languages framework, empirical support for its core claims remains limited. In a preregistered study of 499 individuals in long-term, cohabiting relationships, we examined whether having a primary love language—and receiving love in that preferred way—predicted higher relationship quality and perceived partner love. Findings failed to support Chapman's key claims: less than half of participants had an identifiable primary love language, and satisfaction with a partner's expression of that behavior was no stronger a predictor of relationship quality than satisfaction with other love language behaviors. Instead, relationship quality was more strongly linked to satisfaction across a wider range of loving behaviors. Verbal affirmations, Encouragement for Individual Pursuits, Support during Difficult Times, and accountability emerged as especially robust predictors. These findings challenge Chapman's core claims and call for a shift in relationship interventions toward promoting diverse, flexible expressions of love.

尽管查普曼的五种爱的语言框架广受欢迎,但其核心主张的实证支持仍然有限。在一项对499名长期同居关系的人进行的预先登记的研究中,我们研究了拥有一种主要的爱的语言——并以这种首选的方式接受爱——是否预示着更高的关系质量和对伴侣的爱的感知。调查结果未能支持查普曼的关键主张:不到一半的参与者有一种可识别的主要爱的语言,对伴侣表达这种行为的满意度并不比对其他爱的语言行为的满意度更能预测关系的质量。相反,关系质量与更广泛的爱情行为的满意度联系更紧密。口头肯定、对个人追求的鼓励、困难时期的支持和责任是特别有力的预测因素。这些发现挑战了查普曼的核心主张,并呼吁在关系干预方面转向促进多样化、灵活的爱的表达。

Empathic conjectures are a key therapist response mode in Emotion(ally)-Focused Therapy, used to deepen emotions and strengthen attachment bonds; however, there is little research on them. This process microanalytic qualitative study analyzed 10 sessions, publicly available example of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT). We identified two core features: (1) guessing, where therapists articulate clients' implicit experiences, and (2) meaning match, linking conjectures directly to observable or inferable client experiences. Using a four-point confidence rating scale, we found that 88.6% of high-confidence conjectures were delivered tentatively, supporting tentativeness as important for minimizing therapeutic ruptures. Additionally, seven types of empathic conjectures were identified: feeling, relational process, narrative, formulation, reframing, evocative, and nonverbal feeling conjectures. These findings refine the definition of empathic conjectures, highlight therapist attunement, and provide valuable clinical insights for EFCT therapists. Future research should further explore empathic conjectures' impact on client outcomes and therapeutic alliance.

共情猜想是情感聚焦疗法中一种重要的治疗师反应模式,用于加深情感和加强依恋关系;然而,关于它们的研究很少。这一过程的微观分析定性研究分析了10次会议,公开的例子情感聚焦夫妻治疗(EFCT)。我们确定了两个核心特征:(1)猜测,治疗师阐明来访者的内隐体验;(2)意义匹配,将猜测直接与可观察或可推断的来访者体验联系起来。使用4点置信度评定量表,我们发现88.6%的高置信度推测是试探性的,支持试探性对于最小化治疗破裂的重要性。此外,共情猜想有七种类型:感觉猜想、关系过程猜想、叙述猜想、表述猜想、重构猜想、唤起猜想和非语言感觉猜想。这些发现完善了共情猜想的定义,强调了治疗师的协调,并为EFCT治疗师提供了有价值的临床见解。未来的研究应进一步探讨共情猜想对来访者结局和治疗联盟的影响。

Social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) are woven into modern romantic relationships, particularly among young adults. Grounded in the attachment framework, this study expands on previous literature by using a longitudinal design to examine social media jealousy and electronic partner surveillance as mediators between attachment anxiety and relationship satisfaction. Over a 2-year span, 322 young adults aged 18–29 years and in a romantic relationship completed questionnaires about their social media use, attachment orientation, and relationship satisfaction. Results showed that social media jealousy was associated with more electronic partner surveillance, and lower relationship satisfaction 1 year later. Additionally, although longitudinal support for the association between attachment anxiety and relationship satisfaction was found, it was no longer significant when accounting for the more proximal influence of social media-related jealousy and electronic partner surveillance. These findings emphasize the interplay between social media use and young couples' relationship functioning over time.

社交媒体平台(如Facebook、Instagram)与现代恋爱关系密不可分,尤其是在年轻人中。在依恋框架的基础上,本研究扩展了以往的文献,采用纵向设计来检验社交媒体嫉妒和电子伴侣监视在依恋焦虑和关系满意度之间的中介作用。在两年的时间里,322名年龄在18-29岁之间、处于恋爱关系中的年轻人完成了关于社交媒体使用、依恋取向和关系满意度的问卷调查。结果显示,社交媒体嫉妒与更多的伴侣电子监控有关,一年后关系满意度较低。此外,虽然发现了依恋焦虑和关系满意度之间关系的纵向支持,但当考虑到与社交媒体相关的嫉妒和电子伴侣监视的更近端的影响时,它不再显著。这些发现强调了社交媒体的使用与年轻夫妇关系的长期运作之间的相互作用。
