	The study sought to investigate (1) the relationship between marital satisfaction and the value crisis among women, (2) the mediating role of the differentiation of Self. The sample consisted of 220 married women. The marital satisfaction was found to be inversely correlated with the value crisis. Greater marital satisfaction coincided with better differentiation of Self, while lower level of differentiation (less emotional reactivity, greater I position, less emotional cutoff and fusion with others) was significantly associated with higher difficulties in valuing. The differentiation of Self also mediated the linkage between the marital satisfaction and value crisis among women. The results support the searching hypothesis.
