The present study reports upon a standard behavior therapy treatment package applied to three clinically referred cohabitating couples. Multidimensional assessment measures included reports by self, partner, and external observers of couples' interactions. Moreover, a multiple-baseline design across couples was employed as a means of evaluating treatment efficacy. Therapy involved the weekly administration of bibliotherapy and exercise material, with therapist contact purposely minimized. An analysis of results indicates modest treatment success with considerable between-subject variability. These findings are discussed with regard to gender differences, ceiling effects, and utilization of standardized therapy packages. Recommendations are made for future behavioral cohabitation research.
本研究报告了一种应用于三对临床转介的同居伴侣的标准行为疗法治疗方案。多维评估措施包括伴侣双方及外部观察者对伴侣互动的报告。此外，采用了跨伴侣的多基线设计作为评估治疗效果的一种方法。治疗包括每周提供阅读疗法资料和锻炼材料，同时有意尽量减少治疗师的接触。结果分析表明治疗取得了一定成功，但个体间差异较大。针对性别差异、天花板效应以及标准化治疗方案的应用对这些发现进行了讨论。并对未来的行为同居研究提出了建议。
