Although some practitioners are beginning to use single-system evaluation methods with various client problems and treatment perspectives, many practitioners are still unsure about how to use these methods with more than one individual in a client system. The authors demonstrate the applicability of a practice-driven, single-system evaluation to conjoint therapy. The primary focus of this integration of practice and research methods is to assist the practitioner in making informed treatment decisions based on the couple's progress toward the attainment of measurable treatment goals. A case presentation using a cognitive–dynamic approach in treating marital disaffection illustrates the specific activities involved in an evaluation.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Paradoxical Timetable Cure (PTC), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Matrix (ACTM), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) on self-esteem and marital burnout in women experiencing marital conflict. Materials and Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental, consisting of three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. In this study, 45 women with marital conflict were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group, with 15 participants in each group. Each of the experimental groups underwent ten 90-minute training sessions, while the control group received no treatment. Findings: All four groups were assessed before, after, and one month post-intervention using self-esteem and marital burnout questionnaires. The data were analyzed through repeated measures analysis of variance and follow-up tests. The PTC and ACTM treatments were significant for the self-esteem component but were not significantly effective for the emotion-focused treatment. The results showed that PTC, ACTM, and EFT all had a significant difference in the post-test phase compared to the control group in the marital burnout component, indicating their effectiveness; however, this effect was more pronounced for the emotion-focused therapy. Conclusion: Therefore, it is recommended to use all three treatments to reduce marital conflicts in women, employing PTC and ACTM for self-esteem issues and EFT for marital burnout.

For this study, a couple interaction scale, a couple communication scale, a couple conflict scale, and a happiness scale were used, and a dynamic house-tree-person picture test was conducted. The independent sample t-test and the corresponding sample t-test were statistically analyzed using SPSSWIN 25.0, and 22-verification and covariance verification (ANCOVA) were performed. In addition, the qualitative research method was introduced, and the interviews with participants and activity memo information were used to analyze them with Colaizzi's phenomenological research method.

In the process of couples exploring themselves, expressing their thoughts, and expressing their suppressed feelings through art activities, their understanding of themselves and their spouses increased, and sincere communication served as an opportunity to resolve conflicts between couples and realize their willingness to change for each other. As a result, it was found that the improvement of the relationship and satisfaction between couples can be the basis for determining the happiness of couples. Conclusions This study is a study that introduced qualitative research after focusing on quantitative research. For this study, the reconstructed art therapy program was operated, and the marital interaction scale, marital communication scale, marital conflict scale, and happiness scale were conducted before and after the marital art therapy program.

Background: Divorce rates have increased during the last decade, leading to a greater focus of marital scholars on the importance of understanding couple-maintaining strategies within marital life. Distresses in couples are attributable to difficulties controlling felt, experienced, and expressed emotions; thus, emotion dysregulation is a core stressor in couples with maladaptive responses. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) on outpatient couples to treat emotion dysregulation. Methods: We recruited 20 couples with marital distress in which partners presented emotion dysregulation. We offered the couples the opportunity to join a couple DBT group at their convenience and based on the immediate availability of treatment slots. We measured the treatment efficacy using psychometric tools (the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Dyadic Adjustment Ccale (DAS) at baseline and after DBT therapy. Results: Both male and female partners presented significant improvements in marital adjustment DAS and emotion regulation scores. Female partners showed significantly greater amplitude changes in both scales. Female partners showed significant improvement in most DERS subscales (except the GOALS subscale); on the other hand, male partners showed significant improvements in impulse, awareness, strategies, and clarity subscales. We found significant improvements in most DAS subscales in both sexes; only affectional expression remained unchanged before and after therapy. Conclusion: DBT for couples is an effective approach to treat emotion dysregulation.
