Use of videotape recordings in conjoint marital therapy is now feasible because of the availability of inexpensive equipment. This technique allows the immediate recovery and review of a large amount of objective data concerning interactions during a therapy session. Especially important is the marital partners' increased awareness of the multiple channels of communication, many of them contradictory, between themselves.
