A New Approach to Prevention of Marital Distress Based Upon Stress and Coping
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Couples Coping Enhancement Training (CCET) (Bodenmann, 1997a; 2000b) is based both upon stress and coping theory and research on couples. In addition to traditional elements of couples programs (e.g., communication and problem solving skills), CCET also addresses individual and dyadic coping in promoting marital satisfaction and reducing marital distress. CCET enjoys good consumer acceptance. Outcome results indicate that, in addition to acquiring relationship skills, participants experienced reduced marital distress and increased marital satisfaction, even among couples that have been in long-standing relationships where dissatisfaction exists.
