A framework for understanding feminist therapy

Laura S. Brown’s second edition traces feminist therapy from its origins as a response to sexist practices to its contemporary form as an integrative approach. The book connects the model’s history and theoretical foundations with its empirical basis and clinical practice, centering gender, social location, and power as ways of understanding human difficulties. It also describes how the approach has expanded beyond work with women to include men, children, families, and larger systems. This edition updates discussion of the sociopolitical context for women and marginalized groups, research, and terminology concerning transgender and nonbinary people.

Book overview

Part of the bestselling Theories of Psychotherapy(R) Series from the American Psychological Association

In this second edition of her popular book, Laura S. Brown reviews the history, theory, empirical basis, and practice of feminist therapy, a groundbreaking approach that not only listens to, but privileges, the voices and experiences of those who have been defined as "other" by dominant cultures.

Feminist therapy has evolved significantly from its early days. Originally it functioned primarily as a corrective against the sexist approaches of the era, whereas now it has become a sophisticated, postmodern, technically integrative model of practice that uses the analysis of gender, social location, and power as a primary strategy for comprehending human difficulties. Feminist therapy is no longer just for women--it has grown to encompass work with women, men, children, families, and larger systems.

New to this edition is an updated discussion of the sociopolitical environment for women and other marginalized groups, updated research, and more inclusive terminology and discussion of transgender and nonbinary individuals.
