摘要：
This article uses systematic research synthesis to review and critique the nonempirical and empirical literature on the various adaptive strategies of dual-income couples who are working to achieve balance in their marital, work, and family lives. The examination of such research-based adaptive strategies can inform therapists so that they may assist families who have become overburdened by balancing personal life with two jobs. Since increasing numbers of clients are maintaining a dual-income lifestyle, it may provide therapists with insight into the concerns, benefits, and management strategies that are particular to dual-career partners and their families.
