Does couples therapy work? Does family therapy work?
Yes, couples and family therapy work. In a recent study, consumers reported that marriage/couples/family therapists are the mental health professionals they would most likely recommend to friends. A survey conducted by AAMFT (American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy) found that over 98% of couples and family therapy clients rated the care they received as being good or excellent. Clients also indicated improvement in physical and emotional health, work functioning, and children’s ability to get along with others.
