Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Treatment

When couples are in search of ways in which to understand each other more closely, they often use a therapist to promote which of the following?
  1. Emotional reciprocity
  2. Conflict resolution
  3. Depth of understanding
  4. Therapeutic neutrality
Explanation
Answer - A - Emotional reciprocity, much like contingency (i.e. I do for you, you do for me), relies upon a couple being willing and flexible to be available to each other’s needs. However, they will often use the therapist to promote the reciprocity between them, so long as they are clients. When they are no longer clients, supposedly they are providing the reciprocity themselves, without any oversight or reporting.
