The processes of interviewing a woman in her 60s, who was attending a hospital and diagnosed with anxiety and delusional disorder, and her husband, is reported. The wife suspected her husband in his 70s of infidelity. Five joint interviews were conducted with the couple. The woman was a housewife since her retirement. When she was at home alone, she became anxious because she suspected her husband could be having an affair and questioned him in detail about his past relationships with women. The husband denied having any illicit relationships, which did not convince her, and they often quarreled as a result. The therapist focused on the communication patterns between the husband and the wife and intended to change the communication patterns and develop a new style of communication. Consequently, the wife gradually became calm, and her suspicions about her husband's infidelity decreased. Moreover, she came to take the attitude of a mother trusted by her children, and the therapy concluded. This article discusses the process of interviews and presents suggestions for interviews with senior couples in clinical settings.
