Fathers Are Frightened but May Not Know It: Considering Masculinity and Attachment When Working With Fathers in Family Therapy
Given the often‐unacknowledged emotional realities in theory and practice around masculinities and fatherhood, working with fathers in family therapy needs ongoing attention. Therapists' efforts can be enhanced through attending to how men and fathers may have been socialized towards restrictive masculine ideologies (e.g., devaluing emotional experience) and how relevant behavioral patterns, contextualized in gender privilege, are perpetuated thr…
A family reunion of “clinical cousins”: Attachment and emotion in four family‐oriented therapy models
Attachment theory and the science of emotion provide a strong foundation for intervention at the family system level. Four therapeutic models in particular, Attachment‐Based Family Therapy, Emotion‐Focused Family Therapy, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, demonstrate how a broad and accurate view of attachment relationships and emotion can be utilized to effectively intervene for a variety of presenting p…
A developmental perspective on marital closeness and health in older adulthood
Although closeness is a necessary element in relationships, its role in later-life marriages is less clear, with some finding benefits of greater closeness and others finding costs. To begin to reconcile these findings, the current study sought to explore older couples' experiences of both desired and actual closeness over time. Drawing upon both socioemotional selectivity theory and the dynamic goal theory of marital satisfaction, the current st…
Changes in older couples' compassionate love over a year: The roles of gender, health, and attachment avoidance
Although compassionate love has been identified as a key characteristic of healthy relationships, it is unknown how it changes over time. Thus, both self- and spouse-reported compassionate love toward a spouse were assessed from a sample of 64 older married couples to begin to understand the course of compassionate love and to identify predictors of potential changes over a 1-year period. In contrast to prior theoretical and cross-sectional work,…
It's not just words coming from the mouth: The nature of compassionate love among older couples
Compassionate love is an important characteristic of healthy close relationships. However, we know little about how compassionate love is behaviorally manifested. Furthermore, compassionate love may be uniquely experienced among older couples, as age-related challenges may require adjustments by spouses in providing more care for one another. Through interviews with 63 older married couples, this exploratory study examined the behavioral componen…
Growing old together: Compassionate love and health in older adulthood
The health benefits associated with marriage are disproportionately large in older adulthood, due in part to the powerful role spouses play in promoting each other's well-being. What remains unclear is what motivates this caretaking. To determine whether compassionate love plays a role, the current study used an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model to examine how 64 older couples' compassionate love is linked to their health. Feeling compassionate…
