Why Power Matters: Creating a Foundation of Mutual Support in Couple Relationships

Carmen Knudson-Martin, PhD, LMFT, directs the PhD program in Marital and Family Therapy at Loma Linda University in Southern California. She is a founder of Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy, an approach that attends to the micro-processes through which couple interaction, emotion, and socio-cultural context come together in the moment by moment of clinical process.

Knudson-Martin examines how power differences in the ability to influence the other are intricately connected to emotional experience, communication, trust, and intimacy. She makes the case that attention to power imbalances in couple therapy is an important fulcrum for other clinical change and illustrates a set of practice guidelines.

Truly Global

Family Process has been publishing its abstracts in Spanish and Mandarin since the beginning of 2007.

Translated Abstracts

Since 2009, each issue also features an article translated into Spanish online. Please see Ahora en español disponibles online (at left) for a list of translated articles.

Furthering our global initiatives, beginning in December of 2012 each issue of Family Process will have one article translated in simplified Mandarin (on-line and free). The first article to be translated into Mandarin is The Effects of Parental Education and Family Income on Mother–Child Relationships, Father–Child Relationships, and Family Environments in the People’s Republic of China by Xiao Zhang from The Hong Kong Institute of Education.
