For centuries, traditional medicine has been infused with a
masculine bias, often to the disadvantage of both doctors and
patients. This book challenges prevailing views and offers a
family-oriented feminist approach to the practice of medicine.
Drawing on her 20 years of experience as a family doctor, the
author dissects the assumptions underlying current teachings about
child and adult development, sexual abuse, the family life cycle,
and family systems. She exposes the ways in which women are often
ignored, subordinated, or blamed in the modern medical system. For
example, she notes that women are often held solely responsible for
all problems in their families, including child abuse and
battering.
