Long-Term Effectiveness of Behavioral versus Insight-Oriented Marital Therapy: A 4-Year Follow-Up Study.

Snyder, Douglas K.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v59 n1 p138-41 Feb 1991

Obtained 4-year follow-up data regarding marital status and marital accord for 59 couples receiving either behavioral (BMT) or insight-oriented (IOMT) marital therapy in a controlled outcome study. Found no significant group differences between the two treatment conditions at termination or six-month followup; but by four-year followup, a significantly higher percentage of BMT couples had experienced divorce.
