Intervention concentrate on mitigation of losses, including the effects of long-lasting stress on mental and physical health. For the process and course of therapy, it is important in which phase the partners come to seek help and what outstanding problems they have.

  personal development of each of the partners/spouses, including leading a full life thereafter (post- divorce outlooks)
