The Perfect Pair?
The
fields of couples counseling and marital therapy have been
growing due to the large number of couples seeking assistance
with relationship problems. Typically, this type of therapy
is most effective when the couple is seen together, so that
they may focus on clarifying and improving their interactions
and relationships.
Couples
counseling includes a wide range of concepts and procedures.
Most therapists emphasize mutual need gratification, social
role expectations, and communication patterns. A healthy
relationship usually involves more open communication and
more sensitivity to each other's feelings and needs, so
the focus of counseling will include these issues.
