The purpose of this study is to understand whether the couple therapy that is used in practice is effective in preventing situational couple violence. More specifically, we will focus on couples with mild to moderate forms of situational couple violence to investigate how couple therapy can be effective in preventing the escalation and recurrence of situational couple violence. For this purpose, the response of partners to therapy will be investigated by integrating self-report questionnaires and psycho-physiological markers of emotion.
