Radical Visionaries documents and honours those feminist therapy
pioneers of the 1970s who moved the mental health establishment,
and possibly the world, through radical action, to begin to
consider women as fully human. It is remarkable today, even in
these difficult times, to realize how far we have come, and to know
it was these women who galvanized this move forward toward
self-exploration and equality. As we move into the current era of
feminism and social justice, it is imperative to pause to consider
how these 'second wave' feminist pioneers gave us feminist therapy
and all that followed from it. From the earliest stages of the
movement, feminists used consciousness raising, which moved into
the notion of the egalitarian therapy and ultimately led toward a
cultural shift towards female empowerment and the groundswell of
women into clinical psychology programs. These founding feminist
therapists impacted structures including the criminal justice
system, divorce proceedings, domestic violence services, education,
medicine, and banking. This book highlight these women's stories,
told by the pioneers themselves, as they forged the trail for those
of us who follow them. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Women & Therapy.
