- Morbid jealousy is a relatively common problem that often results in relational conflicts, frequently involving violence. Eventually many relationships break down as a consequence of these conflicts. Despite of this morbid jealousy is considered to be under-researched. As regards the treatment of morbid jealousy there is however some evidence that cognitive behaviour therapy is a worthwhile treatment, and there is also a growing body of evidence that jealousy, normal as well as morbid, is an evolutionary adaptation. This study integrates an evolutionary psychological approach with cognitive behaviour therapy in the treatment of morbid jealousy. The purpose of the study was partly to examine if psychoeducation based on evolutionary psychological theory of jealousy is tolerated by the patients, partly to examine whether the patients could benefit from this intervention in their efforts to cope with morbid jealousy. The findings suggest that psychoeducation based on evolutionary psychological theory of jealousy is tolerated well by the patients. Furthermore the findings give some promise that the management of morbid jealousy can be facilitated by means of psychoeducation based on evolutionary psychological theory of jealousy. (Less)
