As has been true in every other realm of psychotherapy, couple therapy research generally has had very little impact on the day-to-day practice of couple therapists. To a significant degree, this unfortunate disconnection may be attributable to an overemphasis by researchers in the field on treatment packages and therapeutic methods/techniques. Insufficient attention has been paid to other important sources of influence on treatment outcomes, especially the couple therapist herself/himself. It is argued that effective couple therapy requires a good "fit" between the person of the therapist and her primary theoretical orientation, and that couple therapists may be more influenced by research that addresses process aspects of the therapeutic approaches to which they have their primary theoretical allegiances.
在心理治疗的其他领域也是如此，夫妻治疗研究对夫妻治疗师的日常实践通常影响甚微。在很大程度上，这种不幸的脱节可能归因于该领域的研究人员过分强调治疗方案和治疗方法/技术。对影响治疗结果的其他重要因素关注不够，尤其是对夫妻治疗师自身的关注不够。有人认为，有效的夫妻治疗需要治疗师本人与她的主要理论取向之间有良好的“契合”，而且夫妻治疗师可能更容易受到那些关注他们主要理论倾向的治疗方法的过程方面的研究的影响。
