Marital Paradigms: Compatibility, Treatment, and Outcome in Marital Therapy.

Nugent, Michael D.; Constantine, Larry L.

Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v14 n4 p351-69 Oct 1988

Reviewed cases of 103 couples seen in systems-oriented marital therapy to identify outcome and treatment issues as a function of marital paradigm. Found 92 percent of the 38 cases where both partners identified with the same basic paradigm were judged to be treatment successes, while only 60 percent of the cases with different paradigms were considered successful.
