The process of forming a new family brings with it many intergenerational questions that might originate conflict in the couple. These questions turn around each member’s different attachment system representations, and involve negotiating specific rules and boundaries different from the ones brought from the family of origin systems. In this study we present a couple therapy process based on the systemic and attachment perspectives, integrating some Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy principles and techniques. We then discuss the utility of integrating these perspectives to the couple therapist, as well as some limitations.
