This article describes the treatment framework and core therapeutic principles of the integrative brief systemic intervention (IBSI), a manualized six-session intervention intended for parents seeking couple therapy. IBSI aims to work on the couple's presenting problem, considering its specific impact in the marital and coparenting domains. The basic premise of IBSI is to consider that, when working with couples who have children, therapeutic work on their coparenting alliance may be used as a lever, as both parents may be particularly motivated to improve their relationship for their children's benefit. Increasing the coparenting alliance may then facilitate work on deeper conflicts within the marital relationship. The core therapeutic principles of IBSI are: (1) joining with the couple as romantic partners and a coparenting team from the start of the therapeutic process; (2) supporting the parents in increasing their awareness regarding their children's behavior and emotional experiences when facing their parents' conflicts; and (3) working on the spill- and cross-over effects between marital and coparenting relationships (i.e., exploring how conflict or positivity spills over from one relationship to the other or crosses over from one partner to the other). Therapeutic work following these main therapeutic principles is expected to improve the quality of both relationships. A clinical case is provided to illustrate the core therapeutic principles of IBSI.
本文介绍了综合简短系统干预（IBSI）的治疗框架和核心治疗原则，这是一种针对寻求夫妻治疗的父母的六节手册化干预措施。IBSI 的目的是解决夫妻当前的问题，同时考虑其在婚姻和共同养育领域的具体影响。IBSI 的基本前提是认为，当与有孩子的夫妻一起工作时，治疗他们的共同养育联盟可以作为一个杠杆，因为父母双方可能都特别有动力为了孩子的利益改善他们的关系。增加共同养育联盟可能会促进夫妻关系中更深层次冲突的解决。IBSI 的核心治疗原则是：（1）从治疗过程开始就将夫妻视为浪漫伴侣和共同养育团队；（2）支持父母在面对父母冲突时增加对孩子行为和情感体验的认识；（3）处理婚姻和共同养育关系之间的溢出和交叉效应（即，探索冲突或积极性如何从一种关系溢出到另一种关系，或者从一个伴侣转移到另一个伴侣）。遵循这些主要治疗原则的治疗工作有望改善两种关系的质量。提供了一个临床案例来说明 IBSI 的核心治疗原则。
