Address the issues vital for women and their families To be most
effective, family therapists need to understand precisely what
policies are in place and how they influence families and their
relationships. The Politics of the Personal in Feminist Family
Therapy: International Examinations of Family Policy provides an
interdisciplinary look at family public and social policies and the
influence they have on families around the globeall from a feminist
perspective. Diverse international family policy experts discuss
policies family therapists need to know covering gender, ethnicity,
religion, and age, and the effects on women and their families. As
international family public policy shifts and changes, women and
their families' lives are altered in substantial and very personal
ways. The Politics of the Personal in Feminist Family Therapy gives
therapists a clear view of policies and diverse issues involving
family policy, family relationships, and mental health. The book
reveals the interaction between policy and practice,
interdependence as a principle of child and family policy, ways to
increase women's labor force participation without causing a fall
in birth rates, and intergenerational equity debates around the
world. Qualitative studies are presented detailing women's
experiences of family policies' effects on their lives, including
their resiliency in times of disruption and their viewpoints on
life-altering events that are used to disempower them. Topics in
