The movie I decided to choose is “Couples Retreat” (Billingsley, 2009). The couple I choose from the movie is Jason and Cynthia. The reason I chose them is due to the fact that they are the couple that wanted to go to the couples retreat, Eden (Billingsley, 2009). When the couple first started talking to the other couples about the retreat in the beginning of the movie, they discussed the whole reason as to why they wanted to go to this retreat and why they needed the other couples to participate (Billingsley, 2009).
Jason and Cynthia had been thinking about getting a divorce (Billingsley, 2009). Previously, Jason had suffered from testicular cancer, which had put a strain on the relationship (Billingsley, 2009). On top of that, the couple had been trying to have a child for several years and Cynthia was not able to conceive (Billingsley, 2009). After nine years of marriage, the couple started to question where they were both going in life, what they both wanted out of the relationship, and if the relationship was indeed the right fit (Billingsley, 2009). The couple really wanted to save their relationship, so they looked into the best program for couple’s therapy (Billingsley, 2009). However, they were unable to afford it, unless they got the group package for four couples (Billingsley, 2009).

When using this model, therapist will try to avoid conversations (which is not always possible) about what is healthy/unhealthy or might be functional/dysfunctional within a relationship (Gurman, 2008). The whole point of Solution-Focused Therapy is to help the clients reach their goals that they wish to achieve by trying to keep the client focused on that goal so that it can be reached (Gurman,
