- Veterans often face relationship problems that may be partially due to their military experiences (e.g., combat exposure); however, little is known about the long-term effect of couples therapy on Veterans. This study included 238 participants from 125 couples (at least one partner of each couple was a Veteran). Each participant completed questionnaires regarding relationship satisfaction, intimate partner violence (IPV), and psychological symptoms before and 18 months after couples therapy. Results indicated positive effects of couples therapy on Veterans.
