Explore the obstacles and challenges involved in bringing feminist
values and techniques into mainstream therapy Feminist therapy has
been challenging mainstream therapy thinking and practice for the
past thirty years. The Foundation and Future of Feminist Therapy is
the first book to provide a summary and compilation of that
history. It describes the work of the major contributors, early and
recent, and gives a terrific overview of the rich and radical
development of feminist therapy from a variety of perspectives. The
Foundation and Future of Feminist Therapy honors the work of women
such as Laura Brown, Iris Fodor, Miriam Greenspan, Hannah Lerman,
and Lenore Walker, who developed, and who continue to develop,
feminist therapy theory and practice. This book breaks new ground
by envisioning a feminist-informed future in the areas of therapy
practice, the education of therapists, and community. It also
provides an unflinching look at the challenges and threats to
developing that future and offers suggestions for action. The
Foundation and Future of Feminist Therapy includes the work of past
and present contributors to feminist theory on topics such as: the
complex intertwining of gender and other oppressions the impact of
race and ethnicity the effects of sexual orientation, age, class,
disability, and refugee and immigrant status discussions about
violence against women feminist theory from a wide range of
perspectives, from relational-cultural to multicultural theory
perspectives on trauma the discussions at a conference that
imagined a future informed by feminist principles and much more!
For those interested in feminist therapy theory, The Foundation and
Future of Feminist Therapy is an excellent starting point, and many
references are provided for readers who want to pursue specific
topics further. This book will interest practicing therapists at
all levels, including psychologists, counselors, and social
workers. It is also appropriate as a textbook for women's studies,
psychology of women, counseling, psychology, and social work
classes.
