Trudy Goodman explains why she shifted from working with children to couples therapy: parents' struggles usually drive kids' problems. She asks distressed couples one diagnostic question: have you ever actually enjoyed each other? If yes, that past happiness suggests they can recover.

I would say I began working with.
Couples out of my work with children.
Because so many times people would bring in a child.
For therapy. But actually the difficulty was with the parents and not that child. So I.
Kind of got into working.
With couples that way through.
Working with families.
And I.
Think the most important thing.
That I.
Would see diagnostically when a couple would come in in distress. Have you ever really been happy together?
Have you ever.
Actually really enjoyed each.
Other in.
This marriage? Have you ever liked making love with each other? Because if you have, maybe you haven't.
Done it for years.
But if you have, you can.
Find that again, you can come back to that.
