Antecedents of the ocurrence of emotional disorders im couples on the verge of divorce
Abstract
Marriage is a two-sided and complex matter between two people, which plays an essential role in meeting the emotional, psychological and physical needs of the couple. Considering that effective communication and expression of feelings is the main factor in the difference between satisfied and dissatisfied couples, therefore, it seems necessary to investigate the factors related to emotional disorders in couples on the verge of divorce. In the current study, the role of emotional disorders in marital conflicts is based on the psychological aspect of Research Domain Criteria (RDoC). The current research is qualitative and the grounded theory approach is used, which is based on the experience of the interviewees throughout their lives. Data were obtained through indepth interviews with experts in the field of psychology. The research community were psychologists in Tehran. After data collection, triangulation was done at three levels of coding. The results showed that the awareness of these dimensions in the life of each person can prevent the occurrence of emotional disorders in couples, in fact, the lack of awareness of the different dimensions of emotions in married life can create a vicious cycle and continue in the wrong direction. According to the findings of the research, it seems that if a suitable counseling or treatment program is designed and implemented, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of damages caused by the antecedents of emotional disorders such as negative emotions in the married life of couples.
