“…Furthermore, the study findings revealed that feelings of frustration, pain and hurt, hunted and fear, sadness, shaming, and humiliation, and regret and double losses influenced the socioeconomic dynamics of the participants, whereas feelings of betrayal, anger, hostility, hunted and fear, control and loneliness, security, and a sense of relief demonstrated that incarceration negatively interfered with participants' relationships.Additionally, the findings are consistent with the study's theoretical framework, which holds that transformative change is feasible by focusing on the two influences that coping attitudes have on the mental life force as a whole (Banmen & Maki-Banmen, 2014;Mukherjee, 2021;Satir, 1988).…”

The incarceration of their partners has a profound effect on them and affects them differently from other family members. But what are these effects, and what are the results? The purpose of this study was to (1) assess the notable feelings experienced by non-incarcerated partners and (2) understand the implications of these feelings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 female participants who had their partners incarcerated at Nigeria's Agodi-Ibadan Medium Correctional Facility. An interpretative phenomenological approach was employed to analyse their lived experience with Satir's model. Thirteen sub-themes derived from feelings revealed the participants' frustration, pain, and hurt; betrayal and anxiety; anger, confusion, and interruption; hostility, hunt, and fear; sadness, shame, and humiliation; being depressed and incarcerated; being surprised and in denial; being confused and helpless; being sorry and suffering double losses; being controlled as well as feeling relieved. This study found that 40% of participants felt frustrated, angry, interrupted, and hunted, while 30% felt hurt, bitter, or humiliated, and 20% felt betrayed, incarcerated, in denial, confused, or had a sense of relief while their partners were incarcerated. These experiences intensified the impacts of their partners’ incarceration. The study has recommendations for marriage and family specialists.

“…The Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST), also known as the Satir Model, which was developed by Virginia Satir (Satir, 1988), believes that people form and maintain relationships through congruent communication (Banmen, 1986). Satir does not only anticipate the conditions that will result in life-changing phenomena (Banmen & Maki-Banmen, 2014); she also informs a philosophy of ontology: the investigation of being and becoming; axiology: the investigation of qualities and convictions; and epistemology: the investigation of how people know what they know (Piddocke, 2021). The personal iceberg metaphor, an important concept in Satir's model, is important not only for developing self-esteem (Piddocke, 2021;Satir et al, 1991;Wang et al, 2022;Walsh et al, 2021), but also for improving family relationships and communications, which bring feelings to the forefront (Allen et al, 2022;…”

“…among the worst feelings and a serious reason for divorce (Brubacher 2006;Rayan 2015). Research on conflicting couples has also suggested that training through Satir's Communication Model (SCM) and using his treatment techniques could reduce marital conflicts and prevent divorce (Banmen & Maki 2014).…”

Background: Empathy and emotional expression, as important psychological elements, significantly impact couples’ marital satisfaction. Premarital counseling models are designed to increase positive couples’ communication behaviors and emotional style. Accordingly, this study compared the effects of marriage preparation based on Satir’s communication model and narrative therapy on empathy and emotional expression in single young adults. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test, post-test and a control group design. The research population included all girls and boys on the age of marriage who were referred to Vesta Counseling Clinic in Kashan City, Iran, from March 20th, to September 22nd, 2019. The study participants were 45 individuals who were selected by convenience sampling method. Then, they were randomly assigned to three groups (narrative therapy intervention, Satir intervention, and controls) of 15 clients. The research participants in the two intervention groups attended 11 sessions of narrative therapy and Satir communication therapy; however, the controls received no intervention. The data collection instruments were the Emotion Expression Scale (EES), and the Questionnaire Measure of Emotional Empathy (QMEE). The research hypotheses were tested using the Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) by SPSS. Results: The present study results suggested that narrative therapy (F=53.97, P=0.0001) was more effective than Satir’s communication model (F=33.82, P=0.0001) in terms of emotional expression. Both intervention groups obtained higher mean scores on emotional expression, compared to the controls (F=29.005, P=0.0001). Besides, the narrative therapy group gained a higher Post-test mean score for empathy (F=101.12, P=0.0001), compared to the Satir group (F=84.93, P=0.0001). Besides, both interventions were more effective in the test groups, compared to the controls (F=68.27, P=0.0001). Conclusion: Narrative therapy was more effective for improving emotional expression and empathy, compared to Satir’s communication model. Family and marriage counselors are recommended to apply these premarital models for young single adults in counseling centers.
