Summary:

Brings together notable feminist contributors to examine and deconstruct the mores that have traditionally guided family therapy. Addressing both theory and practical applications while keeping an explicit focus on psychotherapy, this volume's contributors examine the implications of the gendered differential of power in families and larger systems. Examining family issues such as divorce, adolescent-parent relationships, step-families, and couple intimacy, the chapter authors explore how culture, socioeconomic status, gender, socialization, and sexual orientation act as powerful moderators. This book is sure to inspire psychologists who have been working within an individual psychotherapy paradigm to pursue training in feminist family therapy, just as it forms a foundation for future feminist theorizing about family therapy.
