Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the empirical and theoretical background and general guidelines for the social learning approach to marital therapy described in this manual. This bird’s-eye view is important for two reasons. First, it provides a conceptual framework for understanding the various therapy techniques. Second, a grasp of the underlying theoretical principles, basic assumptions, and their empirical support will be helpful in guiding the therapist when unanticipated problems occur.
