Publisher's Synopsis
This book focuses on the influence and relevance of dispute resolution strategies employed by married partners on their physical health results. The major purpose of this work is to study the link between marital dispute resolution style and marriage.
I have effectively handled so many marital difficulties amongst couples over the last 10 years as a marriage counselor.
Studies reveal that greater levels of negative marital behaviors contribute to physical health, indicating more physical symptoms, chronic health issues, physical impairment, and lower subjective health.
Conflict is a fundamental element of our relationships with others. According to Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode paradigm, individuals prefer to adopt five distinct conflict resolution styles: collaborating, avoiding, compromising, accommodating, and competing. Studies reveal that couples living in unsatisfactory marriages employ an avoidant style in handling conflict, whereas pleased partners utilize a collaborative style. In conclusion, conflict resolution approaches constitute a significant element in developing physical symptoms and health effects.
Conflict resolution techniques and health consequences should be an essential investigating topic for both couple and family therapists.
