“…During this period in couple therapy's conceptual history, only a handful of important texts appeared, including two multiauthor books (Paolino & McCrady, 1978; Sholevar, 1981), and two single‐author books (Segraves, 1982; Wile, 1981). Emerging integrative (Segraves, 1982) and nontraditional (Wile, 1981) approaches largely stood on their own, lacking any organized following.…”

“…Emerging integrative (Segraves, 1982) and nontraditional (Wile, 1981) approaches largely stood on their own, lacking any organized following. The two leading edited textbooks of this period, incorporating multiple viewpoints and addressing a variety of central topics (Paolino & McCrady, 1978; Sholevar, 1981) were among the earliest signs that a critical mass of couple‐focused psychotherapists was beginning to redevelop. The first comprehensive assessment of the evidence about couple therapy's effectiveness (Gurman, 1973b) also appeared during this period.…”

In this article, we review the major conceptual and clinical influences and trends in the history of couple therapy to date, and also chronicle the history of research on couple therapy. The evolving patterns in theory and practice are reviewed as having progressed through four distinctive phases: Phase I--Atheoretical Marriage Counseling Formation (1930-1963); Phase II--Psychoanalytic Experimentation (1931-1966); Phase III--Family Therapy Incorporation (1963-1985); and Phase IV--Refinement, Extension, Diversification, and Integration (1986-present). The history of research in the field is described as having passed through three phases: Phase I--A Technique in Search of Some Data (1930-1974), Phase II--Irrational(?) Exuberance (1975-1992), and Phase III--Caution and Extension (1993-present). The article concludes with the identification of Four Great Historical Ironies in the History of Couple Therapy.

“…Within the behavior interactionist are included pathogenic interaction by Krietman, Collins, Nelson, and Troop (1970); dysfunctional communication by Walrond-Skinner (1977); attribution theories by Kelley (1972), Weiner et al (1972); and reinforcement and spousal interaction by Orvis, Kelley, and Butler (1976).

The Epigenetic model of understanding marital expectations of Bhatti focuses on the domains of (a) expectations from the partner, (b) expectations from marriage, (c) expectations of and from the partner's family of origin, (d) expectations of the institution of marriage, and (e) the concept of an ''ideal partner,'' and helps in understanding how martial expectations are influenced by various factors in the person's life. The underlying assumption is that the spouses enter the marriage with expectations (on all the above mentioned domains), which are facts and exist at a conscious level in the social reality. These indicators further evolve, refine, and change across the span of the marriage. This model has formed the framework for marital therapy and other interventions. This paper highlights the application of this model in marital therapy with couples with marital dysfunction.

“…It will be less satisfactory to experienced therapists, because of the author's ignoring the interconnections of marital relationship with personality structure and the overall family system. These practitioners will do better with other available textbooks on the subject (1, 2)…”
