摘要：AbstractFrom the perspective of multigenerational theory, the constructions concerning the family-of-origin are an influencing legacy for the development of individuals throughout their life-span, including marital relationships. The present study aimed to test a model of causal links between family-of-origin, romantic attachment pattern, and adjustment to marital relationship. In order to measure the variables, 164 married adults filled out four instruments. The results suggest that the individuals’ constructions of family-of-origin predict romantic attachment pattern, while the romantic attachment predicts marital adjustment. Some limitations and implications of the study for clinical practice in family and couple therapy are discussed.
