This study compared couples receiving two marital therapy approaches and a control group over a 10-week treatment period. Integrated systemic therapy (IST) and an emotionally focused approach (EFT) were both found to be superior to the control and to be equally effective in alleviating marital distress, facilitating conflict resolution and goal attainment, and reducing target complaints at termination. IST couples, however, showed greater maintenance of gains from termination to 4-month follow-up on marital satisfaction and goal attainment. Clients' perceptions of how change occurred and issues related to the use of a team of observers in IST are discussed.
本研究比较了在为期10周的治疗期内接受两种婚姻治疗方法的夫妻以及一个对照组。研究发现，综合系统疗法（IST）和情感聚焦疗法（EFT）均优于对照组，且在缓解婚姻困扰、促进冲突解决和目标达成以及减少治疗结束时的目标抱怨方面同样有效。然而，IST组的夫妻从治疗结束到4个月随访期间，在婚姻满意度和目标达成方面的改善保持得更好。文中还讨论了客户对改变如何发生的看法以及与IST中使用一组观察员相关的问题。
