“…Relational ethics are conceptualized via trust, loyalty, and entitlement in relationships which shape fairness and justice that are transmitted through generations (Gangamma et al., ). The way fairness is perceived in relationships has been shown to have significant influence on relationship satisfaction (Gangamma, Bartle‐Haring, & Glebova, ).…”

“…Trust can be earned or inherited, and it is the key relational resource which influences the way we relate to others (Hargrave & Pfitzer, ). Loyalty is defined as the bond that exists between children and their parents, or other influential individuals in their lives (Gangamma et al., ). Similarly, entitlement is defined as an ethical “assurance” of being cared for, which develops in the relationship (Boszormenyi‐Nagy & Krasner, ; Gangamma et al., ).…”

“…Contextual therapy is an approach that is intergenerational, strengths‐based, and integrative (Gangamma, Glebova, & Coppola, ; Glebova & Gangamma, ; Goldenthal, ). Its signature construct of relational ethics refers to the balance of give and take of due care/consideration or fairness in relationships.…”

“…Its signature construct of relational ethics refers to the balance of give and take of due care/consideration or fairness in relationships. More so, it acknowledges at least three generations when considering how relational ethics are balanced and how fairness is experienced (Gangamma et al., ). According to Boszormenyi‐ Nagy, each relationship has a ledger of indebtedness and entitlements, and balancing this relational ledger requires a fundamental equitability.…”

“…Trust and justice are vital in healthy relationships (Boszormenyi‐Nagy & Krasner, ). The bio‐psychosocial‐cultural lens of contextual theory emphasizes that not only does a lack of due care and trust in FOO relationships contribute to the development of later unbalanced patterns of relating (Gangamma et al., ), but these imbalances also result in a decline in health (Boszormenyi‐Nagy & Krasner, ; Hargrave & Pfitzer, ).…”

This study's aim was to apply a Contextual theory lens on exploring whether knowledge of parental infidelity affects the Relational Ethics (RE) of adult children. The Relational Ethics Scale (RES) was used to capture horizontal (partner) and vertical (family of origin) relational ethics in a clinical sample of 195 participants. A repeated measures ANOVA tested the differences in RES scores among the participants who reported knowledge of parental infidelity and the participants who did not. Results showed that knowledge of parental infidelity is significantly associated with lower scores on the RES, which indicates problematic relationships, both in partners and with family of origin. Clinical implications on how parental infidelity can affect relational ethics are discussed.

Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1988) and contextual therapy (Boszormenyi-Nagy and Krasner, 1986) have conceptual commonalities relative to dialogue, trust, and creating new relational realities (Diamond, Siqueland and Diamond, 2003; Greenberg and Johnson, 2010; Hughes, 2007). Linking Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) (Greenberg and Johnson, 2010) and contextual therapy has also been conceptually proposed for couples therapy (Lyness, 2003). Both EFT and contextual therapy centre trust and dialogue as primary relational resources for change (Boszormenyi-Nagy and Krasner, 1986; Greenberg and Johnson, 2010). This article suggests integrating EFT and contextual therapy within couples therapy. A proposed integrated couples therapy model outlines EFT process steps and contextual therapy principles. Rationale for integration and suggested interventions are discussed. Case studies of two examples of this integrated couples therapy are included for illustration. Practitioner points • EFT and contextual therapy are distinct and yet converge on the constructs of trust, dialogue, reciprocal care and risk taking • An integration of EFT and contextual therapy begins with EFT enactments, then infuses the intervention of multidirected partiality • Family of origin work on entitlements may enhance attachment-based enactments in an integrated EFT and contextual therapy approach
