In cazul psihoterapiei de cuplu, aceasta ramura a psihoterapiei are ca obiectiv rezolvarea conflictelor ce apar intr-un cuplu precum si imbunatatirea relatiilor romantice dintre parteneri si are loc intre terapeut si cuplu, fie ca este vorba despre un cuplu marital sau nu. Intrucat in marea majoritate a relatiilor, mai devreme sau mai tarziu partenerii vor intampina anumite provocari precum infidelitatea, gelozia, furia, comunicarea deficitara, lipsa de intelegere intre membri, probleme legate de intimitate, probleme medicale, interactiunea cu alte persoane (de exemplu: un alt membru al familiei) sau conflicte de alta natura, aceasta forma de terapie vine in intampinarea neplacerilor de ordin psihologic cauzate de aceste situatii. La fel ca si in cazul psihoterapiei individuale si al psihoterapiei familiale, reusita acestui proces sta in stabilirea unei bune relatii terapeutice intre terapeut si membrii cuplului. Viitorul relatiei este puternic influentat de anumiti factori cum ar fi: tiparul de atasament, tiparele de relationare mostenite sau trasaturile de personalitate.Toate aceste aspecte sunt luate in calcul in cadrul sedintelor de psihoterapie,pentru ca partenerii sa poata trece cu bine peste aceste dificultati intr-un mod sanatos (adaptativ) ,sperand ca in acest fel sa evitam dezvoltarea tiparelor de interactiune disfunctionale, oferind ghidare in rezolvarea conflictelor, sporirea intelegerii dintre parteneri, obtinerea unei comunicari eficiente si a unei negocieri sanatoase a diferentelor individuale. - [Read More]
