Abstract Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an empirically supported treatment for couples experiencing relationship distress. EFT therapists use the pursue-withdraw cycle to track and attend to couples’ patterns of interaction and attachment behaviors. However, the relationships between pursue-withdraw categorization and gender and attachment in clinical couples are underexplored. We examined the theoretical mechanisms associated with these relationships and analyzed data from an RCT evaluating EFT’s effectiveness addressing couples’ relationship satisfaction and depression. Our analysis indicated that study therapists categorized all men as withdrawers and women as pursuers. Conversely, the relationship between attachment and pursue-withdraw categorization was non-significant. Clinical implications are discussed.

Abstract The present study is the first to examine whether ongoing parental romantic relationship quality, as well as the adult children’s relationship quality with their parents, are uniquely associated with adult children’s romantic relationship dynamics. We use dyadic data from 3,241 families to assess associations between expressions of emotional intimacy and admiration within parents’ romantic relationships, adult children’s romantic relationships, and adult children’s relationships with their parents. Structural equation modeling showed that ongoing parental romantic responsible actions and parent–adult child relationships are both uniquely associated with responsible actions within adult children’s romantic relationships. Important clinical implications are discussed.

Abstract The aim of this study is to test the mediating role of family cohesion, early maladaptive schemas, and perceived social support in the relationship between the depression symptom level of individuals and their parents’ general conflict patterns-related perceptions. In the study conducted with 299 participants between the ages of 18 and 65, the analysis results indicate that unbalanced family cohesion plays a role in the relationship between parental conflict style and depression symptom levels as a mechanism that feeds the schemas and weakens the perception of social support. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
