Abstract

The present randomized control trial examined the effectiveness of Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) over treatment-as-usual (TAU) approaches for couples presenting for therapy following the discovery of infidelity. Forty-nine couples participated in this trial and were randomized to either a GMCT or TAU control group, with 19 completing all pre- and post-treatment assessments. Results showed that GMCT was globally more effective in facilitating affair recovery than TAU approaches, notably in the areas of trust, conflict management, relational satisfaction, and quality of sex. In this article, we (a) outline findings from this study, (b) discuss implications for the field, and (c) offer directions for future research.
一项试点研究,检验戈特曼方法夫妻治疗的有效性,而不是像往常一样治疗夫妻处理不忠的方法
目前的随机对照试验检验了戈特曼方法夫妻治疗(GMCT)比常规治疗(TAU)方法对发现不忠后前来治疗的夫妇的有效性。49对夫妇参加了这项试验,并被随机分为GMCT组或TAU对照组,其中19对完成了所有治疗前和治疗后评估。结果表明,GMCT在促进婚外情恢复方面比TAU方法在全球范围内更有效,特别是在信任、冲突管理、关系满意度和性质量方面。在本文中,我们(a)概述了本研究的发现,(b)讨论了该领域的意义,(c)提出了未来研究的方向。
