Solution-focused therapy is a branch of the postmodern approach in the field of family and couple therapy and focuses on finding solutions to problems. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of solution-focused couple therapy on marital satisfaction and adjustment of couples.

The present study was quasi-experimental with experimental and control groups and pretest-posttest and one-month follow-up, and its statistical population consisted of couples who visited Mehravar Counseling Center of Tehran in 2016. After screening with marital satisfaction Scale (Fowers and Olson, 1993) and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) (Spanier, 1976), we selected 20 non-adjustment couples using the purposive method, and randomly replaced 10 couples in the experimental group and 10 couples in the control group. The experimental group received eight sessions of solution-based couple therapy interventions in a group, and the control group was placed on a waiting list. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.

The results indicated that the solution-focused couple therapy significantly increased marital satisfaction (F= 10.68, P= 0.002) and marital adjustment (F= 13.58, P= 0.001) and the results were stable in the follow-up phase (P=0.05).

Based on the findings, solution-focused couple therapy could be a suitable treatment to increase marital satisfaction and adjustment in couples.

The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of teaching teachingNeuro-Linguistic Programming on couples’ marital adaptation referring to consultation centers in Isfahan.

The experimental group was received teaching teachingNeuro-Linguistic Programming by the researcher. The research instrument in this study was Spider’s marital status questionnaire. The data analysis was carried out in two descriptive and inferential levels. The comparison of mean scores of marital adaptation posttest in mentioned groups and the scores of analysis of covariance in marital adaptation test indicated that there is a significant difference between experimental and control groups regarding all subscales of marital adaptation. In general, the results of the study showed that the marital adaptation would increase through the effect of teaching NLP.
