Once the survey is completed, couples approved for registration will be given further instructions.

It starts with an extensive survey that provides detailed information to the therapist and is used to create the ulti- mate and unique treatment plan for the couple. Topics explored include a) The Four Horsemen (the four factors most likely to cause friction in a relation- ship): Criticism, Defensiveness, Con- tempt and Stonewalling; b) Aftermath of a Fight; and c) Love Maps.
