Marital conflict

Marital conflict This is a field in which we need infinitely more knowledge and skill than we have at present. Marriage counselling, it seems to me, cannot be separated from the whole of family counselling. There can hardly be conflict between husband and wife without it having its effect on the children, and theunity and harmony of the whole household. The many and diverse factors which may contribute to disharmony may include differences in religion, in cultural background, economic and social status, and education. They may include financial strain, overcrowded housing, long continued or repeated separation. One cannot under- stand and hence try to ameliorate the disharmony without understanding and knowing Whether one can treat any of these and many other contributing factors. So surely this is not a separate field but part of the whole field of social work, e~d capable of study and susceptible to the same methods as any other aspects of social work. The treatment of people in marital conflicts holds peculiar difficulties. We are faced with two people, each withindividual needs, capacities, strivings, united in the most intimate, the most completely ful- filling and the most completely demanding of all human relationships.
