Fair‐fight‐for‐change is a technique in the creative use of aggression in marriage counseling as proposed by George R. Bach, PhD. Its purpose is to utilize anger constructively, teach communication skills, and produce behavior change. The author's use of this technique is presented step‐by‐step in a verbatim account of an actual counseling session that was also video‐taped.
