"Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family" (Virginia Satir)

Fibromyalgia syndrome: The relationship between alexithymia and attachment style on couple relationship
Researcher: Ileana Ungureanu, PhD Candidate, Syracuse University, New York
This study will evaluate the quality of committed relationships in couples where at least one of the partners is diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I will look into how alexithymia (a condition that affects our ability to recognize and describe emotions) and attachment style (how people behave in intimate relationships) influence couple satisfaction when fibromyalgia symptoms are present in the daily life events. Participants in this study have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and are in a long-term intimate relationship.
