Integrate physical activity into feminist therapy!This book
explores the healing use of exercise and sport as a helpful adjunct
to therapy from several therapeutic orientations within the
feminist context. It looks at the ways that feminist orientations
challenge the mind-body dichotomy and explores the benefits of
integrating physical activity, exercise, and sport into therapy.
From the editors: The contributors to this book display a diversity
of theory and research approaches, including the integration of the
exercise/sport sciences and exercise physiology. This volume is
unique in that there has been comparatively little written about
the use of exercise in therapy even though exercise is a wonderful
and useful intervention tool in the treatment of depression,
stress, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. This book illustrates
how exercise can be applied to inpatient and outpatient
populations, to the neurotic, and to the chronically mentally ill.
Exercise can reduce the incidence of chronic diseases, including
diabetes and hypertension, as well as address physical problems
such as obesity. Exercise can give one a sense of mastery and
self-confidence. As our authors suggest, exercise must be tailored
to specific issues and client populations and diagnoses, level of
functioning, age, overall health, and cultural context must all be
taken into account. Exercise and Sport in Feminist Therapy:
Constructing Modalities and Assessing Outcomes examines: the theory
supporting the use of physicality to enhance various types of
psychotherapypsychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, constructivist,
narrative, and organismic/systems practical methods of integrating
exercise into varied orientations an exercise program for women
