This unprecedented, interdisciplinary collection focuses on gender,
whiteness, and white privilege, and sheds light on this
understudied subject matter in the context of clinical psychology,
in both theories and applications. Psychologists, especially
therapists, are often trained to look for issues that are not
readily visible, cannot be spoken, and that are commonly taken for
granted. Feminist and multi-cultural researchers and practitioners
further seek to expose the power structures that benefit them or
that unfairly advantage some groups over others. Whiteness has been
investigated by sociologists and critical race theorists, but has
been largely overlooked by psychologists and psychotherapists, even
those who deal with feminist and multi-cultural issues. This volume
explores the ways in which gender, whiteness and white privilege
intersect in the therapy room, bringing to light that which is
often unseen and, thus, unnamed, while examining issues of
epistemology, theory, supervision, and practice in feminist
therapies. The various contributions encompass theory, history,
empirical research, personal reflections, and practical teaching
strategies for the classroom. The authors remind us that whiteness
and other forms of privilege are situated among multiple other
forces, structures, identities, and experiences, and cannot be
examined alone, without context. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
