Recent relationship science research finds that intense, satisfying
romantic love is a real phenomenon occurring in couples. Creating
Optimal Relationships: Use of the Voltage Concept with Couples
provides the field of marriage and family therapy with the first
model for assisting couples to sustain bliss for a lifetime. The
voltage concept, based on over forty years of clinical research,
uses a skills-based approach from Anthetic Relationship Therapy. By
providing psychodynamic skills for facilitating each partner's
psychological growth, the psychological infrastructure is then
achieved for supporting optimal relating skills. The voltage
concept presents a useful dichotomy of closeness levels to which
partners aspire. Couples who want a more surface relationship fit a
Low-Voltage Relationship model marked by less emotional intensity.
With such couples, minimal skills can be taught to reduce any
conflict that brought them to therapy. High-Voltage couples desire
great emotional depth and receive skills to help them achieve it.
Perhaps even more valuable, the voltage vocabulary equips
clinicians and partners in understanding a common source of couple
conflict; that is, the voltage mismatch. The book offers options
for treatment when a voltage discrepancy exists in the couple.
