title: [Peculiarities of crisis intervention with marital partners in the 2d half of life].
abstract: Marital therapeutic procedures can be reduced to two fundamental psychotherapeutic orientations: Communication and behavior therapy. From these, we selected four strategies of treatment. They concerned training in goal-orientated, conflict-orientated, feedback-orientated and goal-plus feedback-orientated dialogue of the partners. There is no knowledge about the possible effects with regard to spouses of the second half of life. So we analyzed these strategies empirically with eight groups of different variables for a sample of 20 dyads. Their disturbances and disharmonies existed many years. A goal-oriented treatment is the most effective of all the strategies. A combination of communication-therapeutic and behavior-therapeutic elements proves itself to be an overstrain for couples of the studied group of age.
