A relationship assessment
Our Couples Check-up involves a comprehensive assessment of a couple’s strength and
weaknesses in communication and conflict. This profile is based on an extensive body
of research on those facets of couples’ interaction that are related to long-term
relationship success. The Couples Check-up involves completion of questionnaires designed
to tap the key relationship dimensions, actual observations of couple’s communication
around issues of conflict, and measures of psychophysiological functioning that reflect
patterns of emotional arousal. Information is obtained from husbands and wives separately,
and summarized to provide an individualized profile for relationship success for each
couple. Once completed, a comprehensive report summarizing these results is prepared
and discussed with the couple in an individualized feedback session with a licensed
psychologist.
