Abstract
This paper describes a model of jealousy as an interactional rather than an individual problem and illustrates how faulty attempts to correct jealousy actually exacerbate and maintain the problem. The model integrates a systems view of molar relationship structures and sequences with a behavioral view of respondent and operant components of jealousy. The three case histories that are presented combine strategic approaches, including therapeutic directives and reframing with behavioral strategies such as cognitive restructuring, negotiation and behavioral rehearsal. How the therapist issues directives, fosters compliance, and handles the values dimension of jealousy are discussed as important considerations in the treatment of jealousy.
