“…One way that contextual therapists address issues of fairness and justice is the adoption of a multilateral stance whereby the therapist, rooted in the belief of multiple valid perspectives, sides with every person potentially impacted by therapy (Bernal, Flores-Ortiz, Rodriguez, Sorensen, & Diamond, 1990;Goldenthal, 1996). This requires contextual therapists to be aware of issues of ethical relating in not just the client's life, but also in their own.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine depressive symptoms and relationship satisfaction as problems related to relational ethics in one's family of origin and current partner relationships in a sample of 68 other-sex couples seeking therapy at a large university clinic. We used the Actor Partner Interdependence Model to analyze dyadic data collected prior to beginning therapy. Specifically, we found significant actor effects between relational ethics in one's family of origin and depressive symptoms, as well as between depressive symptoms and low relationship satisfaction for both male and female partners. We also found significant partner effects for relational ethics in current partner relationship, depressive symptoms, and low relationship satisfaction. Clinical application of contextual therapy theory is discussed.

Child custody litigation signals parental conflicts that have serious implications for a child's long‐term development. The authors describe a family systems approach to child custody decision making—the contextual approach, derived from contextual family theory. A case study analysis and pilot study illustrate the use of the approach with a small group of families who turn to the legal system to resolve custody or visitation disputes. The findings suggest the approach's usefulness in helping families create alternatives to continued disputation. The findings also reinforce the need for further research to test the preventive potential of the approach in reducing returns to court.
