Diversity and Complexity in Feminist Therapy is an unprecedented
new book that focuses on incorporating, appreciating, and building
on the differences among women. Multicultural in content and
authorship, this intellectually and emotionally stimulating volume
breaks new ground in the development of theory in feminist therapy.
Chapters run the gamut from highly theoretical works that challenge
us to examine the validity of current male, Western psychological
theories, to the very personal story of one woman's struggle with
oppression and her respect for the differences between her
experiences of oppression and other women's experiences. You will
also find provocative, creative, and diverse chapters that address
women's development as it relates to their ethnic, religious,
socioeconomic, sexual, and age differences. The one pervasive truth
throughout this unique book is that feminist therapy must be based
on the experiences of all women in order to be truly representative
of women in the United States. Diversity and Complexity in Feminist
Therapy is a first step in moving feminist therapy to a more
inclusive, global perspective and back into a more political and
activist stance against the oppression that we all want to defeat.
more from mq: introduces feminist therapists and other interested
feminist behavioral scientists to an anti-racist and multicultural
perspective on feminist therapy, both at the level of theory and
practice. This volume is unique in several ways. One of them is in
the emphasis on the development of a theoretical model for feminist
therapy. While much has been and continues to be written about
applications of feminist therapy, theory-building has been
neglected. This volume focuses on the necessity of taking an
explicitly anti-racist and multicultural perspective for such
theory to be truly feminst. A second unique aspect--very close and
detailed attention to feminist therapy practice with people of
color, both within and outside of US culture. While this issue has
been addressed in a piece-meal fashion elsewhere, or has been
addressed primarily by activists challenging racism within feminist
therapy, this volume offers the work of feminist therapists
themselves applying feminist analyses and principles. Volume is
also unique in the degree to which its author represent a diverse
group within feminist therapy. This volume is not only
multicultural in its intent, but also in its creation.HPP Diversity
