Due to methodological limitations, past meta-analytic research was not able to identify which treatment was most effective for specific marital distress levels. By converting preand post-test scores from marital research into equivalent Dyadic Adjustment Scale scores, it was possible to isolate mild, moderate, and severe levels of marital distress. Results show that Emotionally Focused Therapy ...

In this paper we examine the influence of these factors in a sample of HLTs. Our sample includes not only leveraged buyouts but also leveraged recapitalizations. Observing these transactions ...
