Imago Relationship Therapy

Marriage and family common factors are used to understand the curative elements in marriage and family therapy (MFT) models of treatment. Sprenkle, Davis, and Blow identified four common factors of well-established MFT treatment models. This article deconstructs Imago relationship therapy (IRT), a widely used model of couples therapy, for the purpose of determining whether IRT utilizes the four curative common factors of MFT in its theory and practice. The analysis indicates that IRT does utilize the four broad common factors of MFT shared by other well-established models of MFT in addition to its narrow model factors that make it unique.

Sausalito, CA—Come dinner time aboard his yacht Adequate Award, and Melvin Belli really knows how to put on the dog. Tonight, his dining-room table is set with bone china and sterling silver, and browsing among the tableware is one hungry Italian greyhound. I know the animal is hungry because he has walked across the table and taken a bite of my bread plate. . . There are those who would have you believe that Mr. Belli, the King of Torts, has become so eccentric that more than dinner is becoming chaotic. . . Since summer, the 81-year-old lawyer has been barred by court order from his 25-room San Francisco mansion. His wife got the order after filing a petition for legal separation. She complained at the time to reporters and police that Mr. Belli physically and verbally abused her and their teenage daughter. Even more bizarre, she claims that he falsely accused her of having sex with a number of family friends, including celebrities of both sexes. . . Another shot fired across the bow: In a lawsuit pending in Tax Court, the Internal Revenue Service contends that Mr. Belli, in effect, back-dated documents to avoid paying gift taxes in a transaction involving his San Francisco law-office building. . . His firm, Law Offices of Melvin Belli, Sr., is on trial, too, these days. Three years ago, Mr. Belli lost a malpractice case resulting in a $3.8 million judgement against him. Since then, six more malpractice suits have been filed against him in San Francisco Superior Court. . .

Evidence-based couple and family therapies have a robust and well-established evidence base as a cost-effective treatment for numerous conditions and are the treatment of choice for several childhood and adult mental health issues. This review provides a brief overview of systemic couple and family therapy principles and then reviews the evidence base for using these methods with specific disorders. Family therapy treatments have been identified as a primary intervention for several childhood and adolescent disorders, including conduct, alcohol and substance use, attention-deficit, autism, psychotic, mood, anxiety, and eating disorders, as well as certain physical disorders, including diabetes, enuresis, and asthma. For adults, the current evidence base supports couples therapy for major depressive disorder with couple distress, alcohol and substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, distressed couples, and interpersonal violence with certain batterers. In addition, couple and family therapy is indicated for certain adult chronic health conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, dementia, and diabetes. The review concludes with a discussion of effective referral for and training in evidence-based family therapy approaches. This review contains 6 figures, 5 tables, and 53 references. Key words: ADD/ADHD, adolescent, childhood trauma, conduct disorder, couples therapy, depression, eating disorders, family therapy,  marital therapy, mood disorder
