Relationship, Marriage, and Couples Therapy:

Couples therapy is a form of treatment in which a therapist helps those involved in a romantic relationship gain insight into their relationship, resolve conflict, and improve relationship satisfaction utilizing a variety of therapeutic interventions. Some of the elements that this therapy includes are:

• A focus on a specific problem (i.e. sexual difficulties, excessive arguing or conflict, emotional distance, jealousy, etc.)

• Active participation on the part of the therapist in treating the relationship itself, rather than each individual separately

• Solution-focused, change-oriented interventions early on in treatment.

• The exploration of each partner’s family-of-origin and unique cultural backgrounds and values

• A clear establishment of treatment objectives.
