Abstract

One hundred thirty-five married individuals evaluated the acceptability of alternative therapeutic formats commonly employed in marital therapy. Distressed and nondistressed spouses were randomly assigned to experimental conditions including two types of educational information (descriptive and group-oriented) presented across three treatment formats (i.e., individual, conjoint, and group). Primary dependent variables included the Treatment Evaluation Inventory and the Semantic Differential. Results revealed that conjoint format was most acceptable, followed by group and individual, respectively. However, distressed spouses rated the group and conjoint formats as equal in acceptability. Group-oriented information increased nondistressed subjects' ratings of group format. The implications of these results for clinicians and researchers offering marital therapy are discussed.

摘要

135名已婚人士评估了婚姻治疗中常用的替代治疗形式的可接受性。苦恼和非苦恼的配偶被随机分配到实验条件中，包括两种类型的教育信息（描述性和面向群体的），通过三种治疗形式（即个体、联合和团体）呈现。主要因变量包括治疗评估量表和语义差异量表。结果显示，联合形式最可接受，其次分别是团体和个体形式。然而，苦恼的配偶认为团体和联合形式的可接受性相同。面向群体的信息提高了非苦恼受试者对团体形式的评分。讨论了这些结果对提供婚姻治疗的临床医生和研究人员的启示。
