Abstract

The immediate and long-term effectiveness of the Minnesota Couple Communication Program (MCCP) was investigated. Forty-three couples were assigned randomly to a MCCP or attention-placebo control group. Nine couples were recruited fbr a notreatment control group. The results indicated the MCCP had a positive effect on the couple's use of an open-style communication and on the perceived quality of the couple's relationship immediately after training. However, follow-up testing indicated that only the positive changes in perceived quality of relationship persisted. The MCCP appears to be an effective program in the short-run, but some modifications in the MCCP may be necessary to improve long-term effectiveness.
