Feminist Counselling: Theory, Issues, and Practice

To best understand the therapeutic and philosophical stance of feminist therapy, it is important to gain grounding in the sociopolitical factors that spurred consciousness and action among oppressed groups. This book explores concepts related to sex, gender, feminism and feminist psychology, multicultural diversity, and empowerment. It also provides a rationale for recognizing the field of counseling and therapy with women as a separate specialty. This practical guide is ideal for students and practitioners who wish to incorporate feminist therapy into their current approach, including how to apply feminist therapy to both women and men.
