Radical Visionaries documents and honours those feminist therapy
pioneers of the 1970s who moved the mental health establishment,
and possibly the world, through radical action, to begin to
consider women as fully human. It is remarkable today, even in
these difficult times, to realize how far we have come, and to know
it was these women who galvanized this move forward toward
self-exploration and equality. As we move into the current era of
feminism and social justice, it is imperative to pause to consider
how these 'second wave' feminist pioneers gave us feminist therapy
and all that followed from it. From the earliest stages of the
movement, feminists used consciousness raising, which moved into
the notion of the egalitarian therapy and ultimately led toward a
cultural shift towards female empowerment and the groundswell of
women into clinical psychology programs. These founding feminist
therapists impacted structures including the criminal justice
system, divorce proceedings, domestic violence services, education,
medicine, and banking. This book highlight these women's stories,
told by the pioneers themselves, as they forged the trail for those
of us who follow them. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Women & Therapy.
Feminist Therapy with Latina Women highlights the principles of
feminist and multicultural counselling and therapy with Latinas and
Latin American women, providing both theoretical approaches and
applied frameworks. The authors are all experienced therapists and
researchers with a deep understanding of the issues relevant to
this particular population. In presenting their expertise, they
discuss individual concerns and social context, applying it
concretely to the personal and collective lives of Latina women.
Chapters focus on the intersecting principles of feminism and
multiculturalism, providing a much needed contribution to the
field, with topics including domestic violence, eating disorders
and body image, addictive behaviours, sexuality, immigrant and
refugee experiences, and balancing the multiple roles of work and
family. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Women & Therapy.

This collection of essays considers the role of spirituality and
religion in the lives of American women from various ethnic
backgrounds, showing how faith empowers those in populations often
marginalized in the United States. Religion and spirituality are
sources of strength and resilience for many women, particularly
ethnically diverse women. This thought-provoking text examines this
psychological trend, exploring the specific ways in which women
from diverse backgrounds have benefited from their faith
traditions, the various spiritual pathways they have chosen, and
the impact of those choices on their lives. Essays in this
informative compilation show how women from African American,
Latina, American Indian, Asian American, and Caucasian backgrounds
recover from difficulties and traumas with the help of their faith.
Contributors consider why women are more likely to endorse
religious engagement than men; why ethnically marginalized women
tap into spirituality for comfort more than any other population;
and why many believers embrace religion as a coping mechanism
throughout their lives-from adolescence to older adulthood. The
work suggests ways for counselors, leaders, and religious figures
to utilize this knowledge to bolster the well-being of those they
serve. Compares commonalities and differences across cultures
Features many different religions including folk practices,
Buddhism, Christianity, Sikhism, and Santeria Offers a
multi-disciplinary perspective through coverage of cultural
studies, psychology, and women's issues Includes personal vignettes
to demonstrate the power of faith and religion
