Women's Therapy Groups: Paradigms of Feminist Treatment (Springer Series: Focus on Women)

Description

Feminist therapists have many different theoretical orientations-psychoanalytic, humanistic, behavioral-but they assume that problems often result from environmental interference with natural processes of emotional growth. Whereas traditional therapists may focus more on past family dynamics as the basis for current behavior, feminist therapists are usually concerned about the current life community in which the women clients can effect personal and environmental changes.
