Abstract
This paper highlights the distinctive approach to marriage therapy in use by therapists in two
regions of Africa. It illustrates that marital therapy in these two regions is based on role theory
framework and follows, in its execution, the pattern of the judicial trial model. It traces
adaptations made by contemporary marriage therapists to ensure that while building their present
practices on this essentially indigenous/court-room trial model, they are able to remain open to
outside influences from other models of marriage.
