Sumario: | Marriage as an equal partnership is the goal of many couples in the western world today. Equality is often limited by the ways that power and gender interact in the relationship, leading to dissatisfaction and ultimately the break-up of the marriage. In Equal Partners - Good Friends, Dr. Claire Rabin examines the connection between inequality in marriage and marital distress. Drawing on extensive research and personal interviews in the UK, USA and Israel, she stresses the key role of friendship in establishing a truly equal relationship. Treatment methods for work with couples are described with a focus on gender, sex roles and power - a model much needed in today's climate of change. |
