Explain one of the principles of feminist therapy.
What will be an ideal response?
(1) Gender is a salient variable in the process and outcomes of therapy, but it can be understood only in the context of many other factors in a woman’s life. Women have multiple identities defined by gender, race/ethnicity, social class, sexual orientation, and disability. (2) The personal is political: A person’s experiences must be understood from a sociocultural perspective that includes an analysis of power relationships as well as intrapsychic or individual perspectives. A person’s experiences of sexism and discrimination must also be addressed. (3) A major goal of feminist therapy is personal empowerment and helping people expand their alternatives and choices. (4) The therapeutic relationships are mutual and egalitarian. (5) Therapy focuses on a person’s strengths rather than only on their deficits. (6) The qualities of caring and nurturing are value and honored. Clients are encouraged to nurture themselves and to bond with others in a community of support.
