Publisher's Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to allow the reader to gain an advanced understanding for feminist theory as related to the mental health disciplines. This book will educate the reader about ways to apply and practically use this underutilized and underrepresented postmodern theory (Jodry, 2011). During these transitional times, politically, socially, and civically, feminist theory may prove to be a very useful (and maybe essential) tool for many clinicians struggling through new territories of oppression and suffering. The "personal is political" was never truer and this theory addresses many of those issues that are causes psychic wounds. Feminist theory could become an essential skill for clinicians as oppression continues to grow in western systems inflicting additional psychic suffering.
