the first published study of the relation between process and outcome in EFT for couples (Johnson & Greenberg, 1988) was an analysis of a sample of six couples who had participated in an earlier EFT efficacy study (Johnson & Greenberg, 1985). Three of them demonstrated an enormous amount of pre- and posttreatment change in their relationship satisfaction, as indicated by average posttreatment increases in excess of 2.5 standard deviations on the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) (Spanier, 1976). The other three couples did not exhibit significant improvement on the DAS; their scores rose only an average of 2 points from pre- to posttreatment. The same six couples demonstrated a similar pattern of improvement or lack thereof on the Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships (PAIR) scale (Schaefer & Olson, 1981).
