14-September-2008 12:50:33 - therapy Feminist therapy is a set of related therapies arising from the disparity between the origin of most psychological theories and the majority of people seeking counseling being female. It focuses on societal, cultural, and political causes and solutions to issues faced in the counseling process. It openly encourages the client to participate in the world in a more social and political way. Contents 1 The Basic Tenets of Feminist Therapy 2 Goals of therapy 3 Therapeutic strategies 4 Contributors to feminist therapy 5 References The Basic Tenets of Feminist Therapy Feminist therapy has emerged from the recognition that much of human suffering is a result of the unequal distribution of power in society, particularly based upon gender, race and ethnicity, class, dis/ability, sexual orientation, and so forth. These power differentials have been a factor in direct injuries such as sexual assault as well as indirect ones such as limited options. A feminist approach implies a commitment to social change. The practice of feminist therapy is thus politicized in both its theoretical understanding of the causes of injury as well as in its enactment. A collaborative and respectful working relationship is therefore at the foundation of feminist therapy.1 The basic tents of feminist therapy have been summarized by Lenore Walker as follows2: Egalitarian relations between the therapist and client, Empowerment and independence for women, Enhancement of women's strengths rather than attention to their weaknesses, Lack of emphasis on pathology and blaming of victims, Education for different sex-role patterns, and Acceptance and validation of feelings. Goals of therapy Five principal goals of therapy exist.3 Equality Balancing independence and interdependence Empowerment Self-nurturance Valuing diversity Therapeutic strategies The following strategies are typical of feminist therapy:citation needed Empowerment Self-disclosure Gender-role analysis Gender-role intervention Power analysis and power intervention Bibliotherapy Assertiveness training Reframing and relabeling Group work Social action Contributors to feminist therapy Judith Worrell Pam Remer4 Sandra Bem Laura Brown5 Jean Baker Miller6 Carolyn Enns7 Ellyn Kaschakcitation needed Bonnie Burstow8 References ^ Worell, J.
