Fatherhood and social change

The relation between marital distress, therapeutic alliance formation, and treatment outcome was investigated in a group marital skills training program in which 63 couples met for 9 weekly 3-hr sessions. Treatment outcome was assessed before and after completion of treatment through a series of self-report measures. The quality of the therapeutic alliance as viewed by the couples and the therapists was monitored at the 3rd session. Results indicate that levels of marital distress neither impaired nor facilitated alliance formation. In addition, it was demonstrated that patients' and therapists' ratings of the strength of the therapeutic alliance constitute a determinant of successful treatment. It appears, however, that the strength of the alliance is a more powerful predictor of therapeutic success among men than among women.

Predictive validity of therapeutic alliance in group marital therapy.

Ethical and legal considerations in marital and family therapy.

Despite the egalitarian position espoused in behavioral marital therapy, little attention has been paid to sex role issues and female-male differences This paper explores advantages and disadvantages of behavioral marital therapy vis a vis the treatment of women and men Features of behavioral marital therapy implicated as important in the consideration of sex role issues include underlying assumptions of egalitarianism, assumptions of external causality, and orientation toward action, as well as specific procedures such as goal setting, behavioral exchange and training in communication and problem-solving skills Each of these features is evaluated with respect to clinical considerations as well as to research findings on female-male differences in marriage The paper concludes with recommendations as to how behavioral marital therapy could become more sensitive to sex role issues
