It was quite exciting to have APA decide to include Feminist Therapy in their Theories of Psychotherapy monograph series, simply because that inclusion was a statement about how far the field has come in four decades. In writing this book, which is intentionally shorter than Subversive Dialogues, I tried to distill the very best and most essential information about Feminist Therapy practice in the 21st Century. I’ve written this so that it can easily be used in a grad course, or as a good refresher for therapists who want to update their knowledge about Feminist Therapy. The video Feminist Therapy over time was created as a companion to this book.
Please note that a second edition was published in 2018, which replaces this book.
