Description
Existing research has demonstrated the potential of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Narrative Therapy (NT) in improving relational dynamics, including intimacy. The study aims to examine the comparative effectiveness and cost-efficiency of SFBT and NT in addressing sexual intimacy concerns among couples. 30 married couples will be randomly assigned to SFBT, NT, or control group. Each couple will participate in up to 10 therapy sessions, or fewer if treatment goals are met earlier. Measures will be provided at baseline, post-treatment, and at one- and six-month follow-ups. Findings will be interpreted to assess clinical effectiveness and long-term sustainability of each approach.
