We have couples therapy, individual therapy, parent-child therapy, but there's no friend therapy.

And even though friends are such important parts of our lives, we tend to fear rocking the boat.

We're much more likely to keep bad friends than we are bad boyfriends. And as a result, author Erin Falconer says "we end up accepting mediocrity in ourselves and our friendships far too often."

On this hour of All Sides, we talk with author Erin Falconer about how to break up with a friend.
