The approach presented gives a pivotal role to the husband. Although the needs and behaviors of both spouses are considered important, helping the husband acquire greater relational awareness and greater relational behavior is given special attention. Doing so reduces self-esteem threat for the wife, reduces tension in the relationship, and helps restore a caring attitude that benefits both. [publisher's description] ER -
