Abstract
An intervention model for couples reporting both relationship and financial stress was developed and evaluated. The model
utilized co-therapy teams of marriage and family therapists and financial planners who employed a five-session treatment approach
in working with 12 couples. Findings demonstrated numerous benefits of this collaborative model. A recommendation was made
that academic programs and professionals in MFT and Financial Planning develop similar interdisciplinary collaborative efforts.
