What is feminist therapy?

Feministic therapy is not the only idea (Freudian, humanist, cognitive behavioral), but many people based on the feminist movement, especially as expressed in the 60s, 70 and on. In some ways, it is rejection of the way the therapy has been created and practiced, because it considers the initial types of therapy to be based on the cure of men instead of considering a woman unique because of her sex and through her life with systemic sexism. This sexism in therapy is also called systemic and does not necessarily have to be apparent; This means that the whole system of traditional therapy fails female sex because it has been proposed more to treat men.

It is certainly true that the physical and mental problems of women may not be understood so large. Many medical models of treatment do not necessarily deal with physical, hormonal and even genetic differences of a woman, which has led to a serious misunderstanding in major problems, such as the way a woman can experience infarction. In fact attachedThe terms women are "crazy", "necessary", "emotional" was a common practice in the society that women had to live with. They are stuck with prejudice against being these things and must hate or hate that they have these attributes if they perceive themselves from a male perspective.

Feministic therapy can work with women who have been ignored by a health system or a larger world, and to help them understand the situations under which sexism (or racism) formed them or felt less than them. In context, this can work in some of the following ways. The therapist is not considered to be somehow coming to a parent's relationship with the client; It's a meeting straight. In addition, the therapist can cooperate with the client to understand that gender constructs are only that. He was built, but can be completely artificial.

Goals in feminist therapy can be numerous. They include fromLooking on how systemic sexism has created anxiety, tension or abuse in the life of a woman. The client may have to work with the specific impacts of abuse and processing and over time will become authorized to live to fully live. Feministic therapy can emphasize learning how to cope with the care of others. The therapist is likely to ask a woman to seek those qualities in her who do not respect the diversity of people and lead to sexism or other forms of prejudice.

It should be emphasized that feminist therapy is not about hating men and some men benefit from it. Instead, it is more about taking and treatment of uniqueness for each person. They seek balance between gender and also see men as victims of systemic sexism.
