Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of solution-focused, short-term family therapy with couples in the process of divorcing, and it explored the couples’ experiences of participating in family therapy.
Methods: Data in this study included stories from the husbands and wives experiencing divorce. Exploration of the family therapy experience and its meaning included the analysis and interpretation of the process of solving complaints and problems.
Results: The results of the study revealed factors that increased satisfaction and decreased complaints for the participating couples. When husbands changed their manner of speaking and gave their wives more freedom, the wives felt more intimacy and complained less. When wives attended to and praised their husband’s strengths, changed their sexual relationship, and used fond names for their partner, the husband’s complaints disappeared.
Conclusion: This study illustrates how effective clinical interventions led to well-established, confident relationships. Appropriate therapeutic interventions-including solution-focused questioning techniques-and therapist messages were found to be effective when matched to the clients.
