title: [Problems of diagnostic typology of married couples in therapy].
abstract: Over the past years there has been great interest in developing diagnostic typologies of married couples undergoing therapy. 92 couples admitted to therapy were asked to fill out the Giessen test, a test widely used for diagnosis in marital therapy. The method of cluster analysis was used to find a classification. The decision for an 8-cluster solution was based on statistical and clinical data. The 8 diagnostic types are briefly described.
