Abstract: (23 Views)
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral couples therapy on dysfunctional communication patterns and communication beliefs of conflicted couples. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test design, and a control group, including a 2-month follow-up phase. The statistical population consisted of couples who referred to the counseling and psychological services centers of Misagh and Afaq in Rasht city in 2023-2024. Using purposive sampling, 34 couples were selected and randomly assigned into experimental (17 couples) and control (17 couples) groups. The research tools included the Marital Conflict Questionnaire (MCQ; Sanaei & Barati, 2000), Communication Patterns Questionnaire (CPQ; Christensen & Sullaway, 1984), and Relationship Beliefs Inventory (RBI; Eidelson & Epstein, 1982). The experimental group underwent eight 90-minute sessions of cognitive-behavioral couples therapy. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The findings showed significant differences between the pre-test and post-test scores of dysfunctional communication patterns and communication beliefs in both experimental and control groups at the 0.001 significance level. Moreover, there was no significant difference between the post-test and follow-up means in the experimental group at the 0.001 level, indicating that the results were maintained during the follow-up period. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that cognitive-behavioral couples therapy is an effective intervention method for reducing dysfunctional communication patterns and communication beliefs in conflicted couples.
