An annotated bibliography of the remarried, the living together, and their children.

This bibliography was developed by the Remarried Consultation Center of the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services of New York City for our own use. Because there is a growing interest in remarriage and the new types of families this social phenomenon creates, we became convinced that the meager number of articles and books in this area would be of interest to others. We have focused our attention on the now common phenomenon of the remarried and those living together in a committed relationship situation. Some articles that were not designed as studies of remarriage situations are included because their content is pertinent to our subject. The bibliography is divided into six sections to facilitated reference use. It should be noted, however, that these sections are not rigid and that some items could readily have been included under two or more sections. Articles included cover publication dates through April 1978. The six sections are: I. Demography; II. Remarried Couples; III. Stepparents and Stepchildren; IV. Divorce as a Precursor to Remarriage; V. Children of Divorce in Relation to Remarriage; VI. Remarriage-Prophylactic and Therapeutic Aspects. Unfortunately we did not find sufficient material to warrant a section on theoretical aspects. We have tried to make this bibliography as complete as possible using two computer retrieval systems as well as our own search of the literature. If you are familiar with references we have missed, we should appreciate hearing from you.

A typology of intimate relationships.

A typology of marriages and other intimate relationships is offered based on seven behavioral profiles that partners can exhibit in their interactions with one another. The typology is relatively simple, based upon the main thrust of each partner's behavior in their dyadic system. The intrapsychic and biological factors that are forces in each partner's marriage contract differ for each behavioral profile. The profiles are subject to change as the couples' interactions change. There are 28 possible combinations of the two partners' profiles. These are determined by putting together the two terms that best describe each partner's behavior. The prognosis for the quality of each type of relationship in the typology is discussed.

The role of sex therapy in marial therapy.

Marital and sex therapy are clinically interrelated in most cases because they deal with different symptoms of overlapping aspects of the couple's total relationship. The connection between marital discord and sexual dysfunction determines the emphasis and course of treatment. For example, sex therapy is the immediate treatment of choice when sexual dysfunction produces secondary marital discord but not when severe discord precludes the possibility of good sexual functioning. The author presents case reports to illustrate the relationship of remote and immediate causes of marital and sexual problems and to emphasize the value of a multimodality approach to treatment.
