| Abstract: | The present study investigates the effectiveness of narrative therapy on adult attachment styles and expressivity in women experiencing low marital satisfaction. This study was quasi‐experimental. Participants consist of 30 women experiencing low marital satisfaction. They were selected based on availability and randomly designated to an intervention or waiting list group. Narrative therapy was accomplished individually in six 45‐min sessions for the intervention group. Results based on repeated‐measures analysis of variance showed no significant improvement in the intervention group for expressivity and adult attachment. Still, it revealed a considerable improvement during follow‐up in expressivity. Consequently, results indicate that narrative therapy cannot influence adult attachment and expressivity, but a 2‐month follow‐up questionnaire administered indicates improvement in expressivity with a large effect size.
