This article serves as a primer for understanding how to use multilevel modeling (MLM) techniques in couple and family therapy outcome and process research. It outlines the use of HLM and Mplus-two of many software programs that can perform multilevel modeling-and provides an applied example of using MLM to investigate the use of postsession feedback on couple satisfaction and change, as well as the influence of trauma on the use of postsession feedback. Two graduate students in COAMFTE accredited PhD programs read the primer and provided questions to the first author that arose. Answers to these questions have been incorporated throughout the explanation of this methodological approach in hopes of addressing common stuck points for those using MLM.
本文旨在介绍如何在夫妻和家庭治疗结果和过程研究中使用多层次建模 (MLM) 技术。它概述了 HLM 和 Mplus 的使用——这是许多可以执行多层次建模的软件程序中的两种——并提供了一个应用示例，说明如何使用 MLM 来研究对夫妻满意度和变化的会后反馈的使用，以及创伤对会后反馈的使用的影响。两个 COAMFTE 认证的博士项目的研究生阅读了这篇入门文章，并向第一作者提出了他们的问题。这些问题的答案已纳入对这种方法的解释中，希望能为那些使用 MLM 的人解决常见的难题。
