Abstract
Most therapists find themselves involved in couples' therapy partly because of consumer demand but also because the relationship between two human beings is one of the most rneaningful, complex and rewarding formations that can be achieved. This paper addresses a typical case encountered in couples' therapy, the combination of assertive woman and passive man. By analyzing a failed case in couples' therapy, new ways are discovered to balance an unequal struggle between the partners and to work through previously learned defensive behaviors. To achieve this, the therapist must maximize control, model powerful new behaviors for the husband and demonstrate greater acceptance and patience for the wife.
