Classism and Feminist Therapy

Description:

"Classism and Feminist Therapy helps therapists be more aware of their own class biases and assists them in providing treatment that is more sensitive to women's class backgrounds and, therefore, more effective. The contributing authors cover the intersection of race, class, and gender and how it applies to therapy; how to make psychotherapy more responsive to the needs of working class and poor women; and strengths and challenges for working class, poor, and economically deprived women. By also helping therapists face important issues when their profession intersects with the values and experiences of working class women, Classism and Feminist Therapy challenges the lack of attention given to issues of class in psychotherapy and serves as a step toward open conversation about the topic."--Jacket.
