The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of one of the forces by the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the two forces. This creates a twisting force, which can be used to rotate an object. The moment of a couple is used to solve problems...

Area of Science:

  • Family Psychology
  • Systemic Therapy
  • Marital Therapy

Background:

  • Coparenting dissatisfaction negatively impacts family dynamics.
  • Understanding the change process in therapy is crucial for effective interventions.
  • Integrative Brief Systemic Intervention (IBSI) offers a framework for couples therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a model for resolving coparenting dissatisfaction.
  • To compare a theoretical model with empirical observations of change.
  • To identify key steps in the coparenting change process during IBSI.

Main Methods:

  • Task analysis was used to build a model of change.
  • A rational model was compared to empirical data from six IBSI cases.
  • Cases were categorized by positive or no development in coparenting.

Main Results:

  • A six-step rational-empirical model for resolving coparenting dissatisfaction was identified.
  • Positive development was defined as a shift from dissatisfaction to satisfaction.
  • The empirical analysis informed the final model of change.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a detailed model of how coparenting dissatisfaction is resolved.
  • This research deepens the understanding of change mechanisms within marital therapy.
  • The findings can inform clinical practice and future research on coparenting interventions.
