Keywords

Abstract
Utilizing a community sample of 58 couples (116 individuals), we tested a brief couples counseling approach, the Integrative Model of Brief Couples Counseling (IMBCC). Participants received 4–6 sessions of couples counseling conducted by graduate students during their supervised field experience. We assessed participants’ marital adjustment and psychological distress at pretest and posttest. Results indicated significant decreases in psychological distress and improved marital adjustment following couples counseling utilizing the IMBCC. Further research utilizing randomized controls is suggested.
