What is distinct about the last third of life, about women, that
makes psychotherapy different? In this diverse collection, the
psychological meanings and challenges of the last third of life are
explored, as the capacity of the psyche expands, sense of time
changes, and some questions take on new vibrance and urgency. Some
chapters shine their light on women therapy clients - on their
precarious sociocultural predicament in a sexist/ageist time and
place, on intrapsychic changes that follow from changing bodies,
relationships, involvements and emergent needs of the self. Other
chapters enter the largely unexplored territory of changes in the
therapy process itself - where some decide against therapy
altogether, while others describe a rich revision of familiar
elements of therapy, greater authentic presence, a changed
standpoint on the power of the therapeutic relationship. Standing
inside the ''last third'' and looking back on their own lives,
several women psychotherapists offer a rare window into their
private experience across time and their perspectives on the
challenges and the gifts that they, and other women, may realize in
the last third of their lives as they consider who they have
become, who they are, and who they can be. This book was based on a
special issue of Women and Therapy.
