To reach more couples earlier, the couple relationship education (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CRE<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ) group program \u201cHold me Tight\u201d (HmT) based on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EFCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ) was developed. This study is the first to examine the effectiveness of HmT. Using a three\u2010wave (waiting period, treatment, and follow\u2010up) within\u2010subject design, HmT was delivered to 79 self\u2010referred couples and 50 clinician\u2010referred couples. We applied a comprehensive outcome measure battery. Our main findings were that (1) self\u2010referred couples significantly improved during HmT on all measures, that is relationship satisfaction, security of partner\u2010bond, forgiveness, daily coordination, maintenance behavior, and psychological complaints, with a moderate\u2010to\u2010large mean effect size (\n                    <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a0.63), which was maintained (\n                    <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a0.57) during the 3.5\u00a0month follow\u2010up; (2) in clinician\u2010referred couples, who were vulnerable in terms of insecure attachment status and psychopathology, the improvement during HmT was moderate (\n                    <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a0.42), but this was reduced during the 3.5\u2010month follow\u2010up to a small effect (\n                    <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a0.22); (3) emotional functioning (typical HmT target) as well as behavioral functioning (typical Behavioral Couples Therapy\u2010based\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CRE<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    target) improved during HmT; and (4) individual psychological complaints, although not specifically targeted, were reduced during HmT. These findings suggest that HmT is a promising intervention for enhancement of relationship functioning.
