| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Safe Conversations workshop with low income, racial and ethnic minority couples. A sample of 156 individuals (N = 156) participated in a relationship workshop developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt which utilized the theory and practice of Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT). Participants were administered the Dyadic Adjustment Scale before and after the workshop. Findings indicated statistical significance in their overall DAS score and a large effect size in one of four relationship subscales: Consensus. Both males and females were found to derive benefits from the workshop at equal rates. |
