초록
The goal of this study is to examine whether therapists’ family-of-origin (FOO) experience (FOO quality and perceived interparental relationship) is associated with their couple’s relationship (couple satisfaction and communication). Various licensure types (LPC, LMFT, LCSW, LMHC, licensed psychologist, etc.) of mental health therapists (N-312) in the U.S. participated in this study. An analysis of hierarchical multiple regressions revealed that therapists with better FOO quality have higher couple satisfaction and better couple communication, although therapists’ interparental relationship did not show significant impact on couple relationship. Clinical implications and further research are discussed.
