Fun fact:
The effects of marital therapy are owing primarily to the massive deterioration of distressed marriages in no-treatment control groups and not to the clinically significant gains of couples in treatment groups. Only approximately 35% of these treated couples make clinically meaningful gains in treatment, and within a year or two most of these couples relapse.
