Why Is the Hope-Focused Couple Approach Effective?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hope-focused couple enrichment has been evaluated by a recent review (Jakubowski et al., 2004) to be one of four empirically supported couple enrichment interventions. We review the essence of the hope-focused approach for the therapist, and in doing so we present and discuss four possible reasons for the efficacy of the hope-focused approach. These include (1) a focus on hope, (2) a simple strategy with diverse techniques, (3) a focus on repairing damaged emotional bonds through forgiveness, and (4) reliance on systematic research on the components of the method. We hope to interest researchers and clinicians in the hopefocused approach as well as improve therapists’ couple counseling.
