Abstract: (416 Views)
Background: Sexual satisfaction is one of the individual needs and interpersonal interactions that are closely related to human and societal health. Many studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of different couples therapy methods for mitigating sexual satisfaction; however, few studies have compared the effectiveness of these methods.
Aims: The present study was conducted to Comparison of the effectiveness of Gottman method couples therapy with couples therapy based on choice theory on couples' sexual satisfaction.
Methods: The research method was semi-experimental using a pre-test-post-test and follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was all the couples who were referred to the Nejat Sexual Counseling Center in Tehran, from which 45 couples were voluntarily selected and placed in two experimental groups and one control group. Participants answered Larson's (1998) sexual satisfaction questionnaire. To analyze the data, the method of analysis of variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni's post hoc test was used in SPSS23 software and the significance level was 0.05.
Results: The results showed that no significant difference was found in the effectiveness of the two strategies of Gottman's couple therapy and couple therapy based on choice theory on couples' sexual satisfaction. Also, in the experimental groups, there was a significant difference between the averages of the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages, and both couples therapy strategies had a lasting effect over time.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the research, it is suggested that family educational and therapeutic centers use both Gutmannian couples therapy and choice theory-based couples therapy as an effective and successful psychological intervention to improve couples' sexual satisfaction.
