Here is a unique collection of personal memoirs from feminist
therapists which provides a revealing look at their professional
training experiences. This superb volume offers a rare glimpse at
the struggles of these women, both as therapists and feminists, as
they continue to develop professionally while maintaining their own
identities. These candid accounts clearly recount the realities of
professional training for the feminist therapist as a combination
of painful memories, active struggle, impromptu friendship, and
humor. The stories comprising this extraordinary volume cover
several decades, ranging from the experiences of therapists trained
in the 1930s to those of women currently undergoing therapy
training.Share the trials and triumphs of these seventeen women who
faced professional, personal, and ethical challenges during their
professional therapy training. Read about the variety of
experiences in the heterogeneous group of feminist therapists who
describe the circumstances of their training including the account
of mother and daughter therapists who compare their training of the
1930s and the 1970s; that of one woman who entered graduate school
in the 1950s and was prohibited from specializing solely in
research; one woman whose teaching was sabotaged by the "old boy"
network; one woman's experience of coming out as a lesbian in
medical school during a psychiatric residency program; one
therapist's double minority status as female and Japanese-American;
a Black student's confrontation with the alienation and
invisibility of her presence in an all-white classroom; and a
first-year graduate student who describes her transition from a
women's studies undergraduate focus to a traditional male-dominated
research institution.Students and instructors in clinical
psychology, counseling, and social work will find the accounts in
Professional Training for Feminist Therapists: Personal Memoirs a
valuable resource for exploring the experiences of women in
professional training for feminist therapy. Established therapists
will value this work for the clarity and insight that comes from
reflection, as will women who undergo professional training in
future generations.
