This article presents a description of the Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), and puts forwards its contributions, its techniques and progress, the research data on its usefulness compared to traditional behavioral couple therapy, and explains basically its articulation in third-wave behavior therapies using the concepts of functionality, rule-governed/contingency-shaped behavior and acceptance.
A theoretical review of the main IBCT bibliography was carried out.
The review shows that this intervention model includes innovative intervention strategies (to promote acceptance and tolerance) that join the already well-known behavioral couple therapy techniques (behavior exchange, communication training and couple problem solving), substantially modifying the therapy. Furthermore, it incorporates useful orientation for especially difficult problems in couples (such as infidelity and substance use, abuse and dependence situations).
After this analysis, IBCT is revealed as a new intervention, the scope of which is still spreading among professionals. The acceptance concept, one of the core elements of third-wave therapies, has been fruitfully included in behavioral couple therapy through the IBCT.
本文介绍了整合行为夫妻治疗（IBCT），并阐述了其贡献、技术与进展、与传统行为夫妻治疗相比的有效性研究数据，还运用功能、规则主导/偶然塑造行为及接纳等概念，对其在第三代行为疗法中的阐述进行了基本解释。
对主要的IBCT参考文献进行理论综述。
综述表明，该干预模式包含创新的干预策略（促进接纳与容忍），这些策略与广为人知的行为夫妻治疗技术（行为交换、沟通训练及夫妻问题解决）相结合，极大地改变了治疗方式。此外，它还为夫妻关系中特别棘手的问题（如不忠、物质使用、虐待及依赖情况）提供了有益的指导。
经过此番分析，IBCT作为一种新的干预方法崭露头角，其应用范围仍在专业人士中不断扩展。接纳概念作为第三代疗法的核心要素之一，已通过IBCT卓有成效地融入行为夫妻治疗之中。
