Feminist Therapy: Integrating political analysis in counseling and psychotherapy

Abstract

During its first decade, feminist therapy was rich with political analysis. Although many feminist therapists have remained loyal to that original stance, professionalization of feminist therapy has led to a de-emphasis on feminist political analysis. This article redefines and reclaims empowerment from a feminist political perspective and proposes a framework for conducting political analysis in feminist psychotherapy © 1998 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
