TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - An existential/dialectical model for analyzing marital functioning and interaction JO - Family Process A1 - Charny, I. W. SP - 571 EP - 589 VL - 25 IS - 4 N2 - Many experienced marital therapists will acknowledge that it is difficult for them to really understand the dynamics of a couple's interaction and to plan the direction of couple therapy. This article presents a new tool, a Profile of Marital Functioning and Interaction, for developing a broad, many-faceted, but still concise picture of a couple's strengths and weaknesses. The profile is based on an existential/dialectal model for analyzing marital functioning and interaction. It is intended to assist the therapist in selecting a systematic focus in marital therapy.
