  • Title: Relationship-focused group therapy (RFGT) to mitigate marital instability and neuropsychophysiological dysregulation.
    Author: Kahn GB, Feldman DB.
    Journal: Int J Group Psychother; 2011 Oct; 61(4):519-36. PubMed ID: 21985257.
    Abstract:
    This article describes an innovative model of couples therapy designed to mitigate marital instability. The authors suggest that combining ongoing couples therapy with a separate relationship-focused group for each partner favorably impacts each person's neuropsychophysiological regulation and their ability to participate in a stable intimate marriage. The neurobiology of attachment theory is seen as providing understanding of the affect regulation issues operational in many couple relationships. The safe and secure attachments worked out in the relationship-focused group therapy are seen as improving neuropsychophysiological integration and regulation.
