Statistical Analysis of Marital Maladjustment

Abstract

The original purpose of this research project was to make a descriptive study of the Family Service Center of Kalamazoo, Michigan. After becoming familiar with the vast number or subjects and problems handled by the center, the researcher decided to limit the scope of the study to one area. The center expressed special concern and interest in obtaining information about the area of marital conflict; this was the result of the apparent concentration of cases dealing with problems in this area. The study has dealt with various problems of marital maladjustment, as well as problems of the centers specifically, the use of the center and the return of the couples after the initial intake interview.
