Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Integrative Brief Systemic Intervention (IBSI), combining therapeutic work on marital and coparenting relationships with brief systemic therapy (BST-as-usual) for parent couples. Couples were randomly assigned to the IBSI (n = 51) or BST (n = 50). Both treatments were six-session interventions and lasted about 6 months. Questionnaires on individual, marital, coparenting and family-related functioning were completed before and after therapy, and at 6-month follow-up. A significant improvement in all areas of functioning was observed after treatment and maintained at follow-up for both IBSI and BST-as-usual treatments. No significant differences in outcomes were found between the treatments. Additionally, women reported more distress overall than men, and this distress was reduced more significantly after therapy. Last, BST-as-usual couples requested more additional sessions compared to IBSI couples. This study extends the literature on couple therapy with parents.

父母夫妻治疗:一项实用的随机对照试验测试综合短期系统干预(IBSI)的结果

本研究旨在比较综合简短系统干预(IBSI)与简短系统治疗(BST-as-usual)对夫妻关系的疗效。夫妇被随机分配到IBSI组(n = 51)或BST组(n = 50)。两种治疗都是六次干预，持续约6个月。在治疗前后和6个月的随访中，完成了关于个人、婚姻、父母和家庭相关功能的问卷调查。治疗后观察到所有功能领域的显着改善，并在IBSI和bst的随访中保持正常治疗。两组治疗结果无显著差异。此外，女性总体上比男性报告更多的痛苦，这种痛苦在治疗后更显着减少。最后，与IBSI夫妇相比，BST-as-usual夫妇要求更多的额外会话。本研究扩展了父母夫妻治疗的文献。
