Marriage as an equal partnership is the goal of many couples in the western world today. Yet 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, " 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 role of friendship in establishing a truly equal relationship. The nature of equality is examined, because for many equal does not mean "the same." Focusing on issues of gender, sex roles and power, Rabin provides a new clinical treatment model for therapists working with couples which is much needed in today's climate of change.
