Couple‐Based Interventions for Psychopathology: A Renewed Direction for the Field

Abstract: This article provides a rationale and empirical support for providing couple-based interventions when one partner in a relationship is experiencing individual psychopathology. Several investigations indicate that relationship distress and psychopathology are associated and reciprocally influence each other, such that the existence of relationship distress predicts the development of subsequent psychopathology and vice versa. Furthermore, findings indicate that for several disorders, individual psychotherapy is… Show more

“…This is particularly true for dispositionally negative individuals, who tend to behave in ways that promote interpersonal conflict, social rejection, and the dissolution of close relationships (Karney & Bradbury, 1995; Robins et al, 2002). Relationship distress and dissolution reduces or eliminates the possibility of interpersonal emotion regulation and, ultimately, can contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, depression, and substance abuse (Baucom, Belus, Adelman, Fischer, & Paprocki, 2014; Marroquin, 2011; Rehman, Gollan, & Mortimer, 2008; Whisman & Baucom, 2012). Even in the absence of relationship problems, as young adults transition to full-time employment, marriage, and parenting, social network size begins to decline and more time is spent alone (Larson, 1990; Wrzus, Hanel, Wagner, & Neyer, 2013; Wrzus, Wagner, & Riediger, 2016), particularly among those who are single or widowed (Larson, 1990).…”

“…Recent interpersonal approaches to psychotherapy suggest, for example, that couple-level interventions are not only efficacious for treating relationship distress, but also for leveraging social resources in our understanding and treatment of, for example, borderline personality disorder [41], post traumatic stress disorder [42], obsessive-compulsive disorder [43], heart disease [44,45], the suffering associated with cancer [46], and the emotional burden of caring for chronically ill child children [47]. This and related work suggest real potential for the application of social resources in prevention and treatment of a wide array of medical and psychological difficulties [48,49]. Indeed, we are optimistic that our understanding of the nature, function, and centrality of social relationships for human flourishing is steeply on the rise, and we look forward to many fruitful applications of this knowledge in the coming years.…”

“…Cronbach’s (1947) demonstration that adding more items to the measure of a construct substantially increases the internal reliability of that construct is just as true for the interrater reliability of coding data as it is for scales on a self-report measure. Table 2 presents the average interrater reliability of coding teams of size n for seven codes from the Naïve Observational Rating System (NORS; K. Baucom et al, 2012) 8 .…”

“…Larger coding teams of trained or naïve coders would increase the interrater reliability of coding data in a manner depicted in Table 2 9 . Naïve systems may be particularly well suited for use with large coding teams because they take significantly less time and effort to train naïve coders, and it takes coders less time to rate an interaction using a naïve system relative to a trained system (Baucom et al, 2012; Waldinger et al, 2004). Regardless of whether a trained or a naïve coding system is used, it is vital that researchers consider the impact of interrater reliability of coding data on a priori power to detect associations in future research.…”
