Abstract

The thesis of this project is that there is hope for overcoming family of origin deficiencies through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, the application of scripture, and an integration of psychological theories and therapeutic principles. The psychological theories that are integrated for this thesis include Family Systems Theory, Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. The thesis was applied to a young married couple with the use of the Taylor Johnson Temperament Analysis, The Personality Self-Portrait by Multi-Health Systems, and the Prepare/Enrich Inventory assessment tools. The results were used to help the married couple understand their respective family backgrounds; appreciate one another's personality differences; improve communication and conflict resolution skills; and increase their level of marital satisfaction.
