Description: | Few, if any, guides to family therapy take into account feminist ideals and the changing status of women in society. Yet, how do current concepts and practices of family therapy appear from a feminist perspective? Editor Lois Braverman and the contributors explore a feminist approach to theory, clinical applications, training, and supervision in family therapy. Topics include women in alcoholic families, women and abuse in the family context, lesbian daughters and mothers, and women and eating disorders. Women, Feminism and Family Therapy encourages sensitivity to feminist perspectives and challenges many traditional notions held by therapists, clients, and society. One of the few guides that takes into account feminist ideals and the changing status of women in society, this provocative new book explores a feminist approach to theory, clinical applications, training, and supervision in family therapy. |
