Drawing on polyvagal, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology theories, we examined physiological linkages in therapy triads. Thirty-three heterosexual married couples participated in a 50-min session, during which respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), electrodermal activity (EDA), and pre-ejection period (PEP) were recorded from both partners and their therapist. Using dynamic structural equation modeling within an actor–partner interdependence framework, analyses focused on lagged effects across the session's beginning, middle, and end. Results showed clients exhibited strong physiological inertia across all measures, suggesting autonomic rigidity in early therapy. Therapist EDA predicted husbands' EDA early in the session, while wives' EDA predicted husbands' EDA later in the session. No directional effects were found for RSA or PEP.

SGM youth often report concerns related to engaging with healthcare organizations who may disaffirm their identities. Instead, they often turn towards specialized community centers where they are affirmed. The present study focuses on exploring the perspectives of providers within LGBTQ+ centers (<i>N</i> = 18) regarding treatment of youth with STB and their families.

A total of 227 (<i>Female</i> = 155, <i>Male</i> = 72) married individuals participated and completed measures assessing relationship-focused obsessive-compulsive symptoms (including relationship-related and partner-related obsessions), infidelity tendencies, and marital instability. Using structural equation modeling with SmartPLS, results indicated that relationship-related and partner-related obsessions were positively associated with infidelity tendencies. In turn, infidelity tendencies significantly predicted marital instability. Mediation analyses also revealed that infidelity tendencies were the main pathway through which obsessions about relationships and partners caused a higher level of marital instability. These findings show the psychological processes linking obsessive relational concerns to the risk of infidelity and marital disruption. The clinical implications of this study suggest the need for working with obsessive relational dynamics and infidelity risk factors in couples and family therapy.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of marital and family therapy","volume":"52 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146206269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upon the 1-year follow-up participants reported lasting empathy, systemic awareness, trauma-informed competence, and confidence applying clinical skills beyond the therapy room. Students described the experience as transformative, expanding their professional roles to include advocacy and systemic responsibility.
