This study explored the experiences of couples therapists' marital relationship during the couples therapist training using phenomenological research method. The research questions involved the marital relationship experiences and their meanings, and how their marital relationship experiences affect the development of couples therapists during couples therapist training. Five couples therapists identified their personal, relational, and professional growth experiences by half-structured in-depth interview. Giorgi analysis guidelines were used, and five major themes and 20 subthemes were derived. The essence of their marital relationship experiences was "to establish a marital relationship as partners for growth and healing, and provide resources to become a wounded healer." Five major themes included the motivation to become a couples therapist, the experiencing of personal growth, the experiencing of differentiated connection, the experiencing of professional growth, and resources for the development of couples therapist. Exploration of the meanings of marital relationship experiences during couples therapist training shows the reciprocal relationship among personal, relational, and professional growth experiences. The integration of these experiences leads to holistic development of couples therapists. Implications for practice and future research are also discussed.

The major purpose of this study was to investigate the causal effect of the primary triad experiences on dating relationship satisfaction through self-esteem among college students. The primary triad experiences were composed of the parents' differentiation level of couple relationship and the parent-child relationship including family rule, triangulation and communication. Dating relationship satisfaction included such subscales as problem-solving communication, global satisfaction, affection communication and time together. The study data were collected from 382 college students by using self-administered questionnaire method. The results showed that parents' differentiation was positively correlated with self-esteem and all components of dating relationship satisfaction and that family rule was negatively associated only with problem-solving communication. Triangulation was negatively related with most components of dating relationship satisfaction and self-esteem, while parent-child communication showed positive correlations with the same variables. Path analysis results showed that self-esteem mediated the effect of most variables of primary triad experiences on dating relationship satisfaction. In addition, variables of the primary triad experience had direct influences on most components of dating relationship satisfaction. Self-esteem was found to be the most powerful variable influencing dating relationship satisfaction. The findings of the study were discussed in terms of pre-marital education and counseling.

The present study examined the effectiveness of repeated marriage checkups at intervals of six months in a Family Center in Seoul. To achieve this, the pilot study protocol (Park, 2019) was adapted, emphasizing strength-based, counseling-oriented approaches. Two couples and family therapists with master's degrees were trained and their practice was monitored to ensure program fidelity. The methods employed for the assessment of marriage checkup were an online survey, a video recording of couple problem-solving, and a clinical interview. A total of 14 couples participated in the 1st checkup, 10 of whom also completed the 2nd checkup. Couples with varying levels of marital satisfaction participated in the program. Descriptive statistics indicated gradual increases over 8-9 months in diverse indices such as marital satisfaction and relationship strength, while other indices fluctuated slightly but converged to higher levels over time. A non-parametric analysis appropriate for small samples demonstrated statistically significant increases over the 8-9 months in marital satisfaction among couples. The current study evidenced the effectiveness of repeated marriage checkups in the Family Center, which is the primary public institution for family policy and services in Korea. Repeated marriage checkups are therefore a promising way to enhance couples' relationship health and improve the family management system of the Family Center.

본 연구는 알코올 중독의 문제를 가진 재혼한 부인에 대한 가족치료사례 연구로써 부인의 알코올 문제를 개인의 문제로 보기 보다는 재혼한 가족체계 안에서 발생하는 역기능적 상호작용의 문제로 이해하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 부인의 음주행동에 대한 촉발요인으로써 가족의 반응, 촉발요인에 대한 대항요인으로써 부인의 음주행동, 가족의 관계수준에 따른 관계요인으로써 부인의 피해의식, 부인의 음주행동이 가족에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 본 연구에서 갈등을 유발하는 재혼가족의 특수성으로써 재혼가족의 결합을 어렵게 하는 암묵적 상호작용과 가족결합을 강화시키려는 통제적 상호작용을 발견하였다. 또한 가족치료적 개입관점은 부부하위체계의 강화, 의사소통의 변화추구, 가족규칙의 완화, 차이점의 수용이었으며, 치료의 결과는 부인의 변화, 남편의 변화, 가족의 변화로 나타났다.

본 연구는 첫 자녀 출산 후 부부관계 경험 및 적응 과정에 대한 이해를 위해 근거이론적 접근에 기초한 질적 분석을 시도하였다. 결혼 기간 5년 미만, 첫 자녀 출산 후 3년 이내의 부부 13쌍에 대해 심층 면담이 진행되었다. 면담 자료를 대상으로 범주화 작업을 거쳐, 출산 후 부부관계 경험 및 적응에 대한 패러다임을 추출할 수 있었다. 첫 자녀를 출산한 부부들에게 관계 변화를 야기하는 원인적 조건은 삼자적 가족구조로의 전환 및 결혼 적응 수준이었으며, 중심 현상으로는 양육 및 가사 부담, 출산 후 부부관계의 변화가 특징적으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 중심현상은 남편의 지원과 관심, 원가족 지원의 중재 변인을 통해 그 강도가 완화 또는 악화되었다. 작용/상호작용적 전략에서 추출된 주요 범주는 새로운 역할 인식과 적극적인 수용, 가족에 대한 의미부여였으며 이러한 전략이 성공적으로 진행되었을 때, 완성체로서의 가족 구성과 공유된 가치 경험이 얻어질 수 있었다. 선택 코딩을 통해 이론화를 시도한 결과 '부부의 새로운 역할 인식과 수용 및 우리성(We-ness)의 추구'라는 핵심범주가 추출되었다. 임신과 출산, 양육 전 과정에 걸쳐 부부가 하나의 단위로 움직이며, 적극적인 관심과 참여를 보이는 것으로 정의되는 '우리성'의 획득은 출산과 양육이라는 생애 전환기적 사건을 맞닥뜨린 부부가 이에 적응적으로 대응하고 안정된 부부관계를 유지하게 하는 근거가 되는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing depression of participants in the National Supporting Program for Infertile Couples (NSPI) who received a treatment of IVF (in vitro fertilization) or IUI (intra-uterine insemination). Methods: Using the 2013 NSPI Satisfaction On-line Survey data, secondary data analyses were conducted on 830 cases of IVF and 706 cases of IUI. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ${\chi}^2$ test, and logistic regression were performed using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: Logistic regression analysis showed that non-pregnancy status (OR=3.05), unexplained infertility (OR=4.29), relationship trouble with spouse (OR=3.57), and relationship trouble with the in-law family (OR=2.78) were significant factors predicting the depression level in the IUI treatment group. Non-pregnancy status (OR=5.28), childlessness (OR=1.92), financial support helpful hardly or not at all (OR=2.63), relationship trouble with spouse (OR=3.28), relationship trouble with the in-law family (OR=2.83), and unemployment (OR=1.60) were significant factors in the IVF treatment group. Conclusion: To reduce infertile women's depression, adequate attention and care need to be paid to these psychological symptoms. It is suggested to develop counseling and couple-therapy along with methods to enhance social support (including that from the in-law's family).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of health-promoting behaviors (HPB), marital intimacy, and parenting stress on the quality of life (QoL) of low-income women with young children in Korea, an underserved group. Methods: This cross-sectional survey employed a descriptive correlational design. Using convenience sampling, 123 low-income women with children younger than 6 years were recruited from 14 health and community centers in Jeonju, Korea, from June 2020 to May 2021. Participants completed a questionnaire on QoL, HPB, marital intimacy, and parenting stress. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: Participants, who were on average 37.41±3.65 years old and had 1 to 2 children (n=98, 79.7%), reported a mid-level (3.14 out of 1-5) of QoL. Marital intimacy (β=.38, p<.001) was the most influential factor on the QoL of low-income women with young children. In descending order, HPB (β=.35, p<.001) and non- employment status (β=-.21, p=.003) had a significant influence on QoL (F=15.64, p<.001), and the overall explanatory power was 49.0%. Conclusion: Considering the mid-level QoL of low-income women with young children, programs aimed at improving the QoL of low-income women need to promote marital intimacy and maintain HPB, while considering their employment status. Strategies that include couple counseling, health care to encourage healthy lifestyles, and reemployment education are needed.
