摘要
This article outlines a multiple couple group intervention (MCGI) for couples transitioning to marriage or commitment. The MCGI, based on attachment and affect regulation theories, aims to prevent or disrupt negative patterns of interacting and increase partners' abilities to seek support and provide comfort in their relationships. The MCGI offers a process-oriented alternative to the current skillsbased programs for couples. Preliminary evaluations of the manualized treatment indicate promise.
