title: Divorce after couple therapy: an overlooked perspective of outcome research.
abstract: This exploratory study provides data about couples that divorced following couple therapy and compares them with couples that remained together. The divorced couples differed from the nondivorced couples in age difference, complaint at intake, positive regard, and empathy at the start of therapy. Most of the couples found couple therapy useful and viewed their divorce as a positive result of therapy.
