ABSTRACT

In this work are shown the results of relationship counseling that take two elements of the cognitive-behavioral model: the cognitive distorsions and the causal attributions; as both complement each other to achieve cognitive reestructuration. The counseling is comprised of 5 one-hour sessions and addresses the topics of communication, jealousy, and conflict resolution. In each session, an evaluation of the knowledge retained through counseling is made, an activity relative to the topic is implemented, and lastly, techniques relevant to the couple's relationship issues are disclosed. It is noted that at the end of the workshop, the couple implemented more adaptative causal attributions, positive emotions and motivation to resolve conflicts increased; while cognitive distorsions and loss of control sensations decreased. It is concluded that implemented activities led to reflection and learned elements to be put into practice, as well as reinforce that causal attributions and cognitive distorsions are effective elements towards couple intervention. For implementation of groupal counseling, it is recommended to analyze more reflection and practice activities, as well as higher directivity.
