Abstract
SynopsisForty-two couples with marital problems were randomly allocated to conjoint therapy of (i) a directive, (ii) an interpretative or (iii) a supportive (control) type. Self and independent assessment at the end of treatment showed the directive significantly superior to the control procedure on several measures. This superiority was maintained to 18 months' follow-up, when the interpretative procedure also showed some superiority over the control.Keywords
