Extract

There has been considerable variability in couples' responsiveness to Behavioural Marital Therapy.

The perceptions and interpretations that partners place on each other's behaviour are critical: as such the behavioural model has been expanded, with consideration being given to the cognitive components within dyadic relationships.
