1. A method of marital counselling of “non-neurotic” couples is described.
2. The couple are interviewed together at the beginning and ending of the series and separately the rest of the time.
3. The principles involved:
(a) The emotional needs of each in marriage arising out of relationship to parents.
(b) The role of the marital partner is learned by observation of parents.
(c) The relationship to people of the opposite sex is determined largely by the relationship to the parent of the opposite sex.
4. These aspects are explored fox each partner and then by agreement imparted to the other.
5. Stress is laid on communication of difficulties to allow for settlement and avoidance of resentment.
