In Feminist Therapy, Dr. Laura S. Brown demonstrates this integrative approach to psychotherapy. Feminist therapy may superficially resemble other forms of psychotherapy, but the therapy's basis in feminist political analysis and scholarship on the psychology of women and gender make this a unique and valuable approach for both female and male clients. In this session, Dr. Brown works with a woman recently convicted of narcotics charges. She helps the client to discern how past experiences have shaped her current negative self-narrative. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read information about precipitation events and previous sessions
Feminist therapy is a technically eclectic approach to treatment conceptually based on feminist political analyses and feminist scholarship on the psychology of women and gender. Although on the surface, the work of a feminist therapist may appear to differ little from that of other therapists, the ways in which a feminist therapist understands and gives meaning to the client's life history and to what transpires in the therapeutic relationship can be very different indeed. It is this difference in meaning and concept that makes feminist therapy unique in its perspectives and valuable for both female and male clients.
