Abstract
The objective of this research was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of a treatment aimed at unmarried young couples who have had abuse
in their relationship. The program included improving communication skills, empathy and anger management, among other components, under
a behavior therapy perspective. A pretest-posttest one-group design was used, with the participation of four heterosexual couples between
17 and 22 years (X=20 years, DX=1.89 years). The effects were evaluated through the staxi ii, the Assertion Questionnaire in the Couple, a
scale of attitudes toward intimate violence, a program satisfaction questionnaire, and a checklist of experiences of partner abuse. The results
showed significant post-treatment decreases on the frequency of abuse, attitudes toward intimate violence, and anger as a state, and a good
satisfaction with the program. Adjustments in the contents of the program for the achievement of a controlled clinical trial are proposed.
