title: [Marital, family and sexual therapy with special reference to cognitive behavioral orientation].
abstract: This paper gives a review of relevant details characterizing procedures in marital and family therapy. They are described by means of "coalition strivings of therapy's participants", "reciprocal attribution of faults", "therapeutic motivation", "resistance" and "expectations to the therapy". In the main chapter, frequently discussed and applied concepts of marital and family therapy are systematized and illustrated by selected examples whereby a cognitive-behavioral perspective is dominating. In presenting intervention methods of marital therapy, especially operative procedures are discussed. In an excursus, a sexual therapeutic strategy as specification of marital therapeutic treatment goals is described. Finally, the author refers to organizational aspects of particular therapeutic sessions and to the rationale of therapist's behavior.
