Resumen
La Terapia Conductual Integrativa de Pareja es un enfoque terapéutico
contemporáneo que busca mejorar la calidad de las relaciones de pareja mediante la
combinación de estrategias de aceptación emocional y técnicas de cambio conductual. A
diferencia de modelos tradicionales integra elementos cognitivos, conductuales y
emocionales, promoviendo una comprensión más profunda de los conflictos conyugales y
facilitando intervenciones más sostenidas y efectivas. Su aplicación ha mostrado resultados
prometedores generando un creciente interés investigativo en los últimos años. La presente
monografía tuvo como objetivo analizar los avances investigativos recientes sobre las
intervenciones basadas en la Terapia Conductual Integrativa de Pareja desarrolladas entre
los años 2020 y 2024. Para ello, se realizó una revisión documental de estudios empíricos
identificados a través de la base de datos EBSCO, utilizando términos clave en español e
inglés. La búsqueda inicial arrojó un total de 7 trabajos y tras aplicar los criterios
establecidos se incluyeron 3 en la revisión. Los hallazgos muestran que la Terapia
Conductual Integrativa de Pareja ha sido aplicada principalmente en contextos clínicos con
parejas que presentan dificultades relacionales, así como en intervenciones preventivas con
parejas no clínicas. Los resultados destacan la efectividad de este enfoque para mejorar la
comunicación, la aceptación emocional y la cohesión de pareja, con efectos sostenidos en el
tiempo. Además, se evidenció la capacidad del modelo para adaptarse a diferentes
contextos culturales, aunque se identificó una marcada ausencia de investigaciones en
países latinoamericanos, en particular en Colombia. Este modelo representa una alternativa
eficaz para el fortalecimiento de las relaciones de pareja, y se recomienda ampliar la
investigación en contextos iberoamericanos para fortalecer su aplicabilidad intercultural
Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) is a contemporary therapeutic approach aimed at improving the quality of couple relationships through a combination of emotional acceptance strategies and behavioral change techniques. Unlike traditional models, it integrates cognitive, behavioral, and emotional components, promoting a deeper understanding of marital conflicts and enabling more sustainable and effective interventions. Its application has shown promising results, leading to a growing body of research in recent years. This monograph aimed to analyze recent research advances on interventions based on IBCT developed between 2020 and 2024. A documentary review of empirical studies was conducted using the EBSCO database, employing keywords in both Spanish and English. The initial search yielded seven studies, of which three met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in detail. Findings indicate that IBCT has been primarily applied in clinical settings with couples experiencing relational difficulties, as well as in preventive interventions with non-clinical couples. The results highlight the effectiveness of this approach in enhancing communication, emotional acceptance, and relationship cohesion, with effects sustained over time. Furthermore, the model demonstrated adaptability to various cultural contexts, although a significant lack of research was noted in Latin American countries, particularly in Colombia. IBCT represents an effective alternative for strengthening romantic relationships, and further research is recommended in Ibero-American contexts to support its cross-cultural applicability
