Tracking Marital Adjustment, Hostility, and Physical Functioning Across Time in a Therapy Population: A Biopsychosocial Model

Abstract  

In this study we sought to explore the biopsychosocial connections between relational adjustment, hostility, and physical
functioning of individuals who attended psychotherapy. Assessments were given at therapy intake, 6 months post intake, and
12 months after therapy intake. Path analyses between relational adjustment, hostility, and physical functioning revealed
a good fit to the data. Results indicated that therapy may interrupt the relationship between hostility at intake and later
marital satisfaction. Individuals’ ability to function physically day to day at 6 months post therapy intake contributed to
increased marital adjustment 12 months after intake. Clinical implications are discussed.
