The theory, he has developed based on the study research, is that marital intimacy improves quality of the couple’s relationship and enhances the couple’s functionality as a family. And he believes that the best way to increase interpersonal intimacy is through cognitive self-disclosure.

On a blank piece of paper, tell each student to draw a mountain scene. It should include a mountain, a road or path, some trees and any other details.  Here’s a quick guide for interpreting the drawings: The mountain itself: • If your mountain keeps climbing higher and higher, without an end in sight, you tend to be self-driven and self-motivated. • If it goes up, stops at a level peak, such as a butte, your friends rely on you greatly. • If your mountain goes straight up, peaks and then and straight down, like a triangle, you are a multi-tasking person who is not disappointed easily with failure. The road or path: • If your road goes straight through the mountain, you are a direct, to-the-point person. • If your road turns around the mountain repeatedly, then you are a cautious person. • If your road travels straight across one side of the mountain, then you are a peaceful person who sees the world with calm and serene eyes.

At the non-pathological end of the continuum, dissociation describes common events such ...
