“…Similarly, further research into the effectiveness of the couples group format would be a valuable addition to the literature. Marett (1988) reviewed the relevant literature (only five studies had been published by the time of his review) and found that couples groups were as effective as either individual, conjoint or non-spouse group formats. However, there are relatively few of these studies to date.…”

The professional literature contains numerous theoretical and case study articles regarding the development and use of solution‐focused therapy. However, as with many models of systems‐oriented therapy in use with couples, very little has been subjected to empirical investigation. This project was designed to make a contribution to the empirical literature regarding the effectiveness of solution‐focused therapy in use with couples’ groups. This study utilized pre‐test comparisons of treatment and comparison groups, and examined pre‐ to post‐test changes in the scores of the treatment group couples. Twenty‐three treatment group couples participated in a six‐week solution‐focused couples therapy (SFCT) group. A separate group of thirteen couples served as a comparison group. The Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) was used to assess changes in the couples’ relationships. Scores on the Marital Status Inventory (MSI), as a pre‐test measure indicating the couples’ likelihood of divorce, indicated no significant differences between groups. The remaining analyses revealed significant improvement in DAS scores. Self‐reports from the couples involved indicate improvement in a variety of areas after completing the six‐week solution‐focused couples group therapy process.
