Abstract

Background: The rise in Marital Violence has led to growing concern about people with this condition. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the well-established treatments that consider both family interaction and emotion in the creation of secure attachment. Objectives: This studyaimedto evaluate the effectiveness of EFT in Marital Violence reductionandFamily Functioning improvement. Methods: This study was conducted in 2018-2019 among married women with family problems referring to counseling centers in Tehran, Iran. We randomly allocated 32 women with a mean marriage age of 24. 27 6. 18 years to EFT and control groups. Marital Violence and Family Functioning were measured before and after EFT using a domestic violence questionnaire and the family assessment device scale constructed based on the McMaster Model of Family Functioning (MMFF). Emotion-focused Group Therapy was conducted in the intervention group for eight 90-min sessions. The control group was exposed to no intervention. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was utilized to evaluate the distribution of variables. We used the independent t-test, chi-square test, Friedman test, Mann-Whitney test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and MANCOVA for data analysis. Results: Marital Violence decreased significantly after the intervention (-11. 25 vs.-1. 62, P < 0. 001). Moreover, Family Functioning improved after the intervention (6. 25 vs.-1. 69, P = 0. 001) in the EFT group compared to the control group. Conclusions: The EFT was an effective intervention in this study. The findings implicate the significance of essential interventions for Marital Violence reduction and Family Functioning improvement.
