Communication and mental health of human couples

Abstract

When approaching a schema of the sound psychological relationship in a couple's life, criteria traditionally used for its valoration are taken into account, so as the interno-social factors which condition it.
Those values the couple has accepted and assumed in a critica1 way are considered as fundamental. The intervinient dimensions are detailed according to the author, at an individual level (conscience of the own identity, self-steem, self-realization and autonomy) and at an interrelational level (afectivity-cohesion, eficacy-adaptability and communication).
To finish with, seven rules are proposed for a good comunication.
