- Title
A BENEVOLENT CONCEPTUALIZATION OF MARITAL POWER: THE CASE OF DEPRESSION.
- Authors
Quinn, William H.; Carter, Glen
- Abstract
Treatment of the depressed client with low self-esteem, external locus of control, and an absent spouse often is frustrating due to the limitations of modifying the social context. An approach to the problem using a systemic view which is based on examining the notion of power and examining the problems in their context is presented. Interventions which sidestep the temptation of emphasizing self-esteem of the client and, instead, utilize client strengths and interactional dynamics within the marriage are presented.
