Does Marriage and Family Therapy Work?
The answer depends on a number of factors, including your willingness to change, the depth of your issues and how well you respond to your therapist’s techniques. According to research done by the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, families and couples who have attended therapy sessions indicate high levels of client satisfaction. 98% of those surveyed stated they received excellent couples’ therapy. 97% of those surveyed report that they got the help they needed. 93% of clients said they acquired more effective tools for dealing with their problems.
Other Factors In Having A Satisfied Therapy Outcome:
- When problems arise the sooner you take action and see a therapist the better.
- Choose a therapist who is right for you.
- Research shows that marriage and family therapy is a cost effective, short-term, and result-oriented form of treatment. Clients show significant improvements in emotional and physical health, daily functioning and relationships.
