Couples Therapy
- We need to take couples therapy more seriously at a governmental level in terms of funding: “The treatment of couple distress simply has not been a priority of government funding over the last decade. It is perhaps the most important conclusion of this review that, given all we have come to know about the toxicity of relationship distress and the processes that engender such distress, funding priorities should be altered so that more large-scale quality research focused on marital therapy can be conducted.”
- The research shows that couple therapy positively impacts 70% of couples receiving treatment. The effectiveness rates of couple therapy is comparable to the effectiveness rates of individual therapies and vastly superior to control groups not receiving treatment.
