In scientific and general literature, the term BDSM is used for these sorts of relationships, generally a type of power exchange or pain in the marriage between couples that leads to sexual arousal and sexual satisfaction. Previous literature has a pathological approach to this, but the focus of research in this field has shifted from pathology to depathologizing. The purpose of this study is to review articles related to domination/submission and Masochism/Sadism between couples.

The present study was an analytical review study used to collect data from articles and books in reputable scientific databases.

Previous studies have shown that the attitude of the community and the therapists toward these types of relationships and stigmas has been negative. On the other hand, these relationships are related to personality traits, marital satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction. For example, the findings indicated that these people were more extroverted, more open than experienced, and were high in education and job.

The statistical population included 45 couples referring to the consulting center of Petroleum Engineering and Development Company (PEDEC) in 2017. From this population, 30 couples who obtained the highest score with a cut-off point of 120 in the Marital Conflict Resolution Strategies Inventory (Strauss 1979) were selected and randomly assigned to each of the three groups at 60 individuals. Coronel, Degraff, Newton and Tannisson's (2016) Behavioral Analysis, and Hurigian, Robbins and Sazposnick's (2004) Brief Strategic Family Therapy were taught to experimental groups at eight 90-minute sessions once a week in group form. Data were analyzed using mixed-design analysis of variance with repeated measures. The results of this study indicated that transactional analysis and brief strategic family therapy interventions had an effect on verbal conflict (F= 18.59, P= 0.001), (F= 14.78, P= 0.003), neglect (F= 10.31, P= 0.006), (F= 6.64, P= 0.014) and misconduct (F= 4.24, P= 0.03), (F= 10.52, P= 0.006) and that this effect had remained constant in the follow-up phase. BSFT was more
effective than TA therapy in verbal conflict and there was no difference between the two approaches in neglect and misconduct. Since both methods lead to reduction of verbal conflicts, negligence and misconduct in couples, they can be used as effective intervention techniques to solve conflict and improve relationship between couples.
