“…MFT techniques include giving feedback, role playing, and behavioral rehearsal. These techniques are used to modify couples’ interaction patterns and enhance mutual understanding and information sharing by increasing we‐ness between the individuals (Carter, ; Eisler and Hersen, ). Similarly, NPD teams that engage in team‐building exercises experience close and caring relationships (Alavi and Leidner, ), which lead to more knowledge sharing within the group (Lawson, Petersen, Cousins, and Handfield, ; Nembhard and Edmondson, ).…”

“…A therapist's encouragement for a couple to join the therapy process more actively increases the couple's level of we‐ness in sharing their information and understanding (Eisler and Hersen, ; Hazelrigg, Cooper, and Borduin, ). In organizations, members’ participation facilitates the sharing of relevant information (Mealiea and Latham, ).…”

Drawing on marriage and family therapy (MFT), this paper introduces the concept of we‐ness to new product development (NPD). We‐ness is the shared sense of togetherness family members feel toward each other. We apply we‐ness to NPD as the construct through which people share knowledge at the team, between‐team, and between‐organization levels. The results support the hypotheses that we‐ness increases knowledge sharing and that knowledge sharing increases product performance. In this study, we used regressions to analyze the hypotheses. We found that the greater in‐team we‐ness (H1, t = 3.786, p = .000), between‐team we‐ness (H2, t = 5.411, p = .000), and between‐organization we‐ness (H3, t = 2.940, p = .004) activities there were, the more knowledge sharing in NPD. Results also indicate that knowledge sharing is related to better NPD performance. This paper contrasts team and family as the foundation metaphor to organize people engaged in product development. We argue the team metaphor can be counterproductive in settings where difficult decisions must be made. Teams can lead to individual members suppressing their opinions to “help” the team achieve its goal. Members are expected to sacrifice for the good of the team. That can be adaptive when the task is straightforward. The family metaphor suggests that the group sacrifices for the individual. In a family environment, members protect minority opinions, and in cases where complex, ambiguous decisions must be made individual expertise and insight may come from one person. High‐trust family‐like settings can facilitate sharing sensitive information and norms that can be challenged. The family metaphor suggests a more flexible and tolerant approach to new ideas. At the same time, it is recognized that families can have dysfunctions that can detract from performance. Therefore, managers must carefully apply the use of family‐like settings. The importance for family‐like approaches across organizations seems to be more important as technology complexity increases. Between‐team we‐ness was revealed significantly higher in goods manufacturers than service firms in this study. Small companies need to make extra effort to increase between‐team we‐ness. The idea of approaching product development from a family relations perspective opens up new alternatives for managing people in teams, between teams, and even between organizations. MFT tools to address behaviors and individual performance issues increase the number and nature of managerial tools to increase product performance.

“…These techniques have been shown to be effective in adult patients with cancer (Arathuzik, 1994) and diabetes (Rubin, Peyrot, & Saudek, 1992), and in reducing premenstrual symptoms in women (Kirkby, 1994;Morse, Dennerstein, Farrell, & Varnavides, 1991). Coping-skills training also has been used with test-anxious college students (Smith, 1989), individuals with alcoholism (Eisler, Miller, & Herson, 19741, families with multiple needs (Eisler & Herson, 1973), and those seeking weight loss (Kayman, Arnold, King, Stefanick, & Wood, 1990).…”

Research has suggested that the use of effective coping skills may aid in healthy long‐term adaptation to diabetes mellitus. Thus, nurses caring for adolescents with this illness should teach and be role models for these effective coping strategies.

“…The pieces are written in relation to each other and should be read as a single unit.In the last decade, behavior therapists have paid increasing attention to problems in family living and to marital relationships in particular. Early clinical work by Stuart (81, 82, 83), Lazarus (49), and Goldiamond (24) initiated a flood of clinical reports of both an anecdotal (5,17,20,21,37,51,74) and experimental (13,14,16,18,25,44,59,100) nature. At this time, enough substantive empirical study of both the behavioral determinants of marital satisfaction and dissatisfaction and of the outcomes of behavioral marriage therapy has accumulated to prompt the appearance of a rather large number of reviews of behavioral assessment and treatment programs (29,41,45,61,66,97).…”

After briefly summarizing the major theoretical premises and treatment strategies of Behavioral Marriage Therapy (BMT), five major clusters of implicit assumptions in BMT are identified and critically examined: I. "The Rational Observing Ego Shall Conquer All"; II. "Behavior Should Not Mean, But Be"; III. "What's Sauce for the Goose is Sauce for the Gander"; IV. "Repression Is Good for Your Marital Mental Health"; V. "The Folly of the Therapist as Technician." Throughout this analysis, the conceptual and clinical limitations of a strictly or predominantly behavioral approach to couples therapy are described, and BMT is reconsidered in the light of object relations theory and communication theory perspectives on marital dysfunction and its treatment.
