Abstract: (396 Views)
The aim of this study was to compare the impact of postmodern therapy and a gender-sensitive perspective on the social well-being of couples referring to counseling centers in Ilam. The research method involved a comparison between two therapeutic protocols using a repeated measures design with pre-test, post-test, and a three-month follow-up, including a control group. The statistical population consisted of all couples referring to counseling centers in Ilam during the second half of 2022. A sample of 45 individuals was selected using purposive sampling. Initially, the Marital Conflict Questionnaire was administered to 150 individuals referring to counseling and psychotherapy centers; subsequently, 45 individuals who obtained the highest scores were purposively selected. Data collection was conducted using Keyes’ Social Well-being Questionnaire (1998). Data analysis was performed using Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) via SPSS-26 software. Based on the results, the research hypothesis regarding a significant difference between postmodern therapy and the gender-sensitive perspective on couples’ social well-being was not confirmed. However, the key finding was that postmodern therapy had a significant effect on couples’ social well-being compared to the control group, whereas this effect was not significant for the gender-sensitive approach. Therefore, it appears that the postmodern approach has broader effectiveness in promoting the psychological and relational resources of couples.
