Cookerly, J. Richard
- Abstract
This paper presents a follow-up records' study of 773 former marriage counseling clients of 21 marriage counselors. The clients' primary treatment form was compared with six categories of counseling outcome. A chi-square statistical treatment demonstrated that the six forms of counseling resulted in different outcomes significant beyond the .001 level. A rank ordering of the six forms for effectiveness suggested conjoint interviews and conjoint groups to be the most effective forms. Different forms may be helpful to those who divorce as opposed to those remaining married, and some findings are quite different from current supposition.
