Background:

  • Coparenting dissatisfaction is a common issue in couples therapy.
  • A validated model for understanding coparenting resolution is needed.
  • Systemic couple therapy for parents offers a context to study coparenting dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To confirm the relevance of a model for resolving coparenting dissatisfaction.
  • To differentiate between contrasting couples based on their coparenting progress in therapy.
  • To assess the utility of the model in identifying therapeutic change.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a task analysis approach to examine couple interactions.
  • Selected two contrasting couples from a systemic couple therapy sample.
  • Analyzed videotaped therapy sessions and rated session records for model adherence.

Main Results:

  • The couple experiencing improved interaction quality demonstrated nearly all steps of the coparenting resolution model.
  • The couple whose interaction quality worsened presented only two steps of the model.
  • The model effectively discriminated between the two contrasting cases.

Conclusions:

  • The study supports the relevance and components of the coparenting resolution model.
  • The model can differentiate between couples with positive and negative therapeutic outcomes.
  • The findings contribute to understanding and facilitating coparenting improvement in therapy.
