Dissertation
Gender differences in social support within the couple: A romantic attachment perspective
2008
Overview
While this country's divorce rate is alarmingly high, psychologists have made little headway in a search for effective couple therapy treatment until very recently. Susan Johnson pioneered a new and successful wave of couple therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which uses emotions and attachment styles to heal couple distress. Often, this distress is also fueled by gender differences and misunderstandings, which is illuminated by John Gottman's couple laboratory. Thus, this dissertation is a study of how either gender uses social support depending on their romantic attachment style. Social support is an often-ignored element of couple interaction, as the ability to give and receive support it is the basis of one's attachment style. This dissertation concludes with a clinical vignette, which integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy with a new understanding of gender differences in social support from a romantic attachment perspective. This integration will hopefully aid therapists in successfully treating previously vexing couple cases.
