Abstract

In this article, the development, standardization and clinical uses of the SIDCARB: Spousal Inventory of Desired Changes and Relationship Barriers are presented. The SIDCARB was developed to help the therapist gain some understanding of each spouse's unique perceptions of the conjugal exchange process. This instrument measures three dimensions of conjugal exchange: 1) desired changes, dissatisfaction with the equity of exchanges and commitment; 2) willingness to terminate the marriage and Internal-Psychological Barriers; and 3) External-Circumstantial Barriers. The uses of the SIDCARB as an aid to clinical assessment, treatment and evaluation are outlined, and several examples are offered. The limitations of the SIDCARB at its current state of development are discussed.
