Larry, I don't think anyone here doubts your prowess in Psych or statistical analysis...
But after readiing your paper, I did notice that none of the subjects used for your analysis were there for couples counselling. Sure there were various psychoses and neuroses available for analysis, yet none of these were couples (the specific topic of this thread). I don't doubt the suceess rate of RET or any other type of behavioral modification therapy in regards to clinical psychosis, however, I do feel that the application of such methodologies to "couples therapy" or relationship building are ineffective due to the dynamic nature of relationships in general... My opninion based on experience with clinical psychologists. I don't particularly have time to get into this but I'll try and dig into your article a little more this evening...
