“…The lack of a male comparison group in this study impedes drawing any conclusions regarding gender-related differences. Another study that concurred on the lack of psychopathology in spouses was conducted by Mazzoleni, Gorenstein, Fuentes, and Tavares (2009). They found that female spouses in their sample (N = 25) experienced elevated distress, but did not present significant psychological impairment.…”

“…It seems obvious that, given the complexity of the problems experienced by a couple where one is a pathological gambler, marital contentment would be affected. And a study that analyses the social adjustment, personality and negative emotions of partners of pathological gamblers does suggest that (Mazzoleni et al 2009). The results of this study show that the wives of pathological gamblers (n = 25) exhibit considerable marital dissatisfaction compared with control participants, although they do not show signs of personality disorders or negative affectivity.…”

“…These couples' problems with marital functioning are seen in the continuity of the difficulties of their parents. In addition to high marital discontent (Mazzoleni et al 2009) the literature somewhat redundantly indicates four major areas of difficulty: (1) emotional intimacy (e.g. psychological suffering, anger, guilt, frustration, resentment) (Lorenz and Yaffee 1986;Steinberg 1993) and sexual intimacy (sexual dissatisfaction) (Lorenz and Yaffee 1986); (2) communication (e.g.…”

This article is a critical literature review of pathological gambling focused in the family factors, particularly in the couple dynamics. Its main goal is to develop an explicative integrative systemic model of pathological gambling, based in these couple dynamics. To achieve that aim, a bibliography search was made, using on-line data bases (e.g., EBSCO Host) and recognized books in pathological gambling subject, as well as in the systemic approach in general. This process privileged the recent works (about 70 % of the reviewed literature was published in the last decade), however, also considered some classic works (the oldest one dates back to 1970). The guiding focus of this literature search evolves according to the following steps: (1) search of general comprehension of pathological gambling (19 references), (2) search specification to the subject "pathological gambling and family" (24 references), (3) search specification to the subject "pathological gambling and couple"(11 references), (4) search of systemic information which integrates the evidence resulted in the previous steps (4 references). The developed model is constituted by different levels of systemic complexity (social context, family of origin, couple and individual) and explains the problem as a signal of perturbation in the marital subsystem vital functions (e.g., power and control) though the regularities of marital dynamics of pathological gamblers. Furthermore, it gives theoretical evidence of the systemic familiar intervention in the pathological gambling.

Este estudo teve por objetivo apresentar uma revisão integrativa da literatura acerca dos casamentos de longa duração. A revisão foi operacionalizada mediante consulta às bases/bibliotecas LILACS, PePSIC, SciELO e PsycINFO, de janeiro de 2009 a junho de 2017, amparada na estratégia PICO. A pergunta norteadora foi: Como os casamentos de longa duração são abordados na literatura científica nacional e internacional? Foram recuperados 22 artigos empíricos, nove deles brasileiros. Os casamentos longevos promovem apreciação na qualidade de vida, conferida pelo elevado nível de satisfação conjugal, repercutindo na saúde física e emocional dos cônjuges. As relações sexuais e o amor são considerados dimensões essenciais para a manutenção do matrimônio e a sua ausência é motivo de conflito conjugal. Os antagonismos tendem a abrandar com o tempo, sendo importante criar estratégias saudáveis de enfrentamento. Além disso, em casais idosos percebe-se uma necessidade acentuada de apoio social, que pode ser proporcionado pelo parceiro ou pela família.
