Book excerpt: As a basic unit of the society, family is vitally important for the very existence of the society. But modern society is plagued with ever growing distress and de-generation of family and marriage, paving way to physical and psychological illnesses, not just for the couples alone, but for the children and other family members as well. Various studies show that an effective communication between marital partners enhances their relationship quality; an absence of the same causes distress and discord among them. The purpose of this research was to develop an intervention program that would effectively assist couples improve their communication skills and to assess the efficacy of the researcher-developed program. Following a mixed research design of exploratory-sequential method, the researcher integrated the communication aspects of Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and the emotional aspects of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) in the development of ‘Emotion-Focused Couples’ Communication Program (EFCCP)’. The results of the study revealed that couples communication and marital satisfaction are strongly correlated. The high significance in their relationship also indicated that couples communication accounted for the changes in the level of marital satisfaction at a very high percentage. Results of the study likewise showed that the Emotion-Focused Couples’ Communication Program (EFCCP) is reliable and valid as well as highly efficacious in enhancing couples’ communication and marital satisfaction among the distressed couples. The efficacy of the program was tested in two independent experimental studies against two geographically and culturally diverse backgrounds and thus was proven culture-free.

This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no perfect marriage. In all relationships, there will be stages of fluctuations. Intimacy and understanding may not always remain at a high level. Couples may sometimes feel that they are living with strangers, their passion ebbing out like a receding tide, and they may feel trapped in the same old arguments over finance or kids. And it is normal too. Life may seem to go in a monotonously boring way with all its daily stresses propelling emotional distance between the partners and ushering in boredom in the bedroom. However, the problem arises when partners neglect or fail to address these fluctuations in a constructive and positive manner. This will lead them to coldness and distance, conflicts of interests, disagreements in decisions, aggressiveness and violence in communication, even to the point of physical aggression, and ultimately, to the degeneration and dissolution of marriage and family. EFCCP proposes a novel style of communication based on Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg and Emotionally Focused Therapy by Johnson. The program will teach the couples how to engage in a compassionate communication and how to relate to their own feelings and needs as well as to that of their partners in a constructive manner, leading to reconnection and healing.

This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage prevention and enhancement programs are vital to the future of society due to their expanded ability to reach many couples that might not otherwise seek help in building the tools necessary for a successful relationship. Because marital distress has been related to many negative long-term health and emotional consequences, preventing these damaging outcomes is a rising priority for psychologists and the health care field. In this study, 55 couples started a secondary marital enhancement and prevention program called SUCCES. The SUCCES program merges multiple interventions from distinct empirically supported couples treatments within a conceptually pluralistic framework. Cognitive behavioral skills development as well as insight and emotion-focused couples therapy techniques are interwoven with each other in the program. Thirty-two couples completed the 9-week intervention and the six-month follow-up assessment period. Although there was no control group, repeated-measures MANOVAs yielded positive results when assessing increases in interpersonal functioning. Couples who participated in the program reported higher levels of satisfaction in broad and specific areas of their relationship upon completion. In addition, couples reported fewer relationship problem areas and an increased quality of life. Almost all increases remained significant at six-month follow-up. These positive initial findings suggest the potential efficacy of the SUCCES program and the importance of future controlled outcome studies to validate its clinical utility.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy: The Dynamics of Emotion, Love, and Power, authors Leslie S. Greenberg and Rhonda N. Goldman explore the foundations of emotionally focused therapy for couples. They expand its framework to focus more intently on the development of the self and the relationship system through the promotion of self-soothing and other-soothing; to deal with unmet needs both from the client's adulthood and childhood; and to work more explicitly with emotions, specifically fear, anxiety, shame, power, joy, and love. The authors discuss the affect regulation involved in three major motivational systems central to couples therapy - attachment, identity, and attraction and clarify emotions and motivations in the dominance dimension of couples' interactions.Written with practitioners and graduate students in mind, the authors use a rich variety of case material to demonstrate how working with emotions can facilitate change in couples and, by extension, in all situations where people may be in emotional conflict with others. Greenberg and Goldman provide the tools needed to identify specific emotions and show the reader how to work with them to resolve conflict and promote bonding in couples therapy.
