Abstract
How therapists address gender inequities in practice with cross-gender couples was the subject of this qualitative study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 prominent feminist family therapists to examine the components of such approaches. Grounded theory procedures were used to analyze patterns and themes that emerged from the data. Categories were generated that detail both the descriptions of power issues my respondents believe are significant in cross-gender relationships as well as the strategies for addressing power issues. Two levels of strategies were described: strategies for broaching power issues and strategies for maintaining power as a focus in therapeutic work. This report details the latter strategies: how therapists keep power issues in therapeutic conversation once they have been initially raised.
