@entity1 @entity39357
The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of a group of Turkish @entity39357 @entity1 who benefited from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and to study which factors this treatment model changes. Twenty-eight couples who applied to Psychiatry Clinic of Hacettepe University Hospital, Ankara, for treatment of @entity39357 within the 6-month period participated in the study. Fourteen subjects quit the therapy after the initial assessment sessions. Other couples successfully completed the treatment. We assessed all the couples that completed the CBT at three times: during the initial session, at the end of the treatment, and during the follow-up session (4 weeks after the end of the treatment). In terms of anxiety levels, and quality of marital and sexual relationships, the characteristics of the couples that quit the therapy could not be identified. But we found that all of the @entity1 were treated effectively by CBT. At the end of the therapy, anxiety levels of the @entity1 decreased. There also were improvements on parameters related to marital harmony and overall sexual functioning of the @entity1 . We discuss the findings of our study within a cultural perspective.
