Couple problems are difficulties of interaction, not strictly of the individual.<\/p>\n

WHAT ARE THEM?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In partner problems, we can identify three forms of relationship that are not full and that will produce a dysfunction in the couple:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The unstable couple: one in which there is desire and intimacy but there is no commitment.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • The superficial couple: there is commitment but no intimacy.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • The partner: there is commitment and intimacy, but there is no desire.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div>

    Evaluation and diagnosis<\/h3>\n

    Among the existing instruments we can distinguish five basic types of strategies for the evaluation of couple interaction:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Initial or reception interview<\/em>.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. Instruments of self-report<\/em>: obtaining the opinions of each member regarding the relationship, as well as an assessment of their own and other’s behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Examples:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Marital adjustment scale.<\/li>\n
      • Scale of dyadic adjustment.<\/li>\n
      • Inventory of marital activities.<\/li>\n
      • Current problems questionnaire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        1. Instruments of self-observation and observation of the couple.<\/em><\/li>\n
        2. Third-party observation recording systems:<\/em> : estimates of the couple’s behavior in situations of interaction in the laboratory or in a natural environment.<\/li>\n
        3. Instruments for the evaluation of specific issues related to the couple<\/em>, including:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          • Reception interview.<\/li>\n
          • Individual interview.<\/li>\n
          • Individual cross-interview, in which the evaluator interviews the member of the partner of the opposite sex.<\/li>\n
          • Round table, in which the members of the couple are attended by the two evaluators in a common session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            The proper evaluation process should allow us to:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. A description of the characteristics of both members of the couple and the problems of the relationship.<\/li>\n
            2. Assist the members of the couple in decision making.<\/li>\n
            3. In the event that an intervention program is carried out, determine which therapeutic components are priority and even if this is the ideal therapeutic system for the particular couple.<\/li>\n
            4. Continuous assessment of the therapeutic process if intervention is necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
              <\/div>
              <\/div>

              Treatment<\/h3>\n

              Most therapeutic programs consist of twelve sessions organized in five phases:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Two training sessions in positive reciprocity intended to increase desire.<\/li>\n
              • Three communication training sessions aimed at increasing privacy.<\/li>\n
              • Two negotiation training sessions aimed at increasing commitment.<\/li>\n
              • Three training sessions on conflict resolution aimed at consolidating and generalizing therapeutic gains.<\/li>\n
              • Two sessions for relapse prevention and management of critical situations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                These 12 sessions, of 60 to 90 minutes each, are subject to the peculiarities of each couple, which allows various adaptations and redistributions of sessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
