Ebook: Handbook of Feminist Therapy

The chapters in this book reflect the growing edge of feminist
therapy and, as such, mirror the maturity of thinking about psychotherapy
with women. As women working together with women, these therapists
have gone beyond the realization of psychological theory based on
male developmental norms and have come to understand its inadequacy
in explaining the female experience. While several authors previously
have examined gender-based developmental psychological differences
and the implications such differences
have for mental health workers and mental health policy, little
has been written about the clinical application of
such principles, especially for the advanced psychotherapist.
