Samenvatting

Een vaak aangehaalde, maar slecht onderbouwde opvatting over relatietherapie is dat koppels gemiddeld zes jaar wachten voordat zij met relatietherapie beginnen voor ernstige relatieproblemen. Deze opvatting gaat vaak hand in hand met het idee dat veel koppels “te laat” komen en dat de vooruitzichten op herstel niet goed zijn. Dit is de eerste studie met een grote steekproef naar de tijd tussen het begin van de relatieproblemen en de start van relatietherapie (N = 270) of individuele therapie (N = 101). We hebben hierin een gemiddelde interval geconstateerd van 2,68 jaar; vanaf het begin van de problemen tot de start van de relatietherapie. De meeste koppels starten binnen twee jaar met de therapie. De bevindingen voor individuele therapie voor relatieproblemen zijn vergelijkbaar. De belangrijkste klinische implicatie is dat therapeuten zich geen zorgen hoeven te maken over het aantal koppels dat zo lang wacht met therapie dat hun problemen niet meer op te lossen zijn.
