Feminist Therapy as a Path to Friendship with Women
Women & Therapy, 2013Co-Authors: Laura S. BrownAbstract:While many Feminist therapists have found that their personal experiences of friendship have given them an experiential base from which to develop their work, some Feminist therapists have had alternative journeys through connections with women. This article explores how the author transformed her childhood and adolescent experiences of relational aggression into a deepened understanding of the value and importance of relationships between women. The contributions of misogyny and sexism to relational aggression among girls and women, and their enduring effects on all women's relationships to other women is explored. Finally, the author describes her intimate e-epistolary friendship with two other women, and considers how the medium of email and other forms of electronic communication may facilitate emotional intimacy for women who have experienced relational aggression with other women.

Feminist Therapy: A Review From Two Perspectives
PsycCRITIQUES, 2010Co-Authors: Laura S. Brown, Mary Ballou, Elizabeth A. MarkleAbstract:The current review represents the views of two reviewers who approach the book from very different perspectives. While Mary Ballou is a colleague of the book author, has participated in the development of Feminist theory over the past few decades, and has written collaboratively with Brown, Elizabeth Markle is relatively new to the literature on Feminist Therapy. Therefore, this review combines the impressions, reflections, and understandings of both a newcomer to the field and a veteran of the discussions.

Feminist Therapy with people who self-inflict violence.
Journal of clinical psychology, 2007Co-Authors: Laura S. Brown, Tracy C. BryanAbstract:In this article, the authors describe how a Feminist therapist approaches work with clients who practice self-inflicted violence (SIV). They begin by discussing Feminist Therapy, with its focus on empowerment of clients and the use of noncoercive strategies. The Feminist perspective on understanding SIV behaviors is described, with SIV being defined as a coping strategy used by survivors of complex trauma as a means of self-care. Feminist Therapy is illustrated with a case example of a woman who used SIV, and the challenges to a therapist wishing to promote client safety while empowering the client. Practice recommendations and cautions are advanced.

still subversive after all these years the relevance of Feminist Therapy in the age of evidence based practice
Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2006Co-Authors: Laura S. BrownAbstract:In this article, based on my Carolyn Wood Sherif Memorial Award Address, I address questions of the viability of Feminist practice in the current Zeitgeist. Using the framework of responding to questions raised by doctoral students about Feminist Therapy, I address how Feminist practice aligns with the evidence-based practice movement, particularly those aspects focusing on empirically supported Therapy relationships. I propose that Feminist diagnostic strategies enhance cultural competence for therapists, thus better preparing practitioners for the clients of the twenty-first century. Finally, I discuss the question of who is a Feminist therapist, addressing issues of gender that have long challenged the universality of Feminist Therapy's applications.

Feminist Therapy Practice
Women & Therapy, 2005Co-Authors: Marcia Hill, Gail AndersonAbstract:SUMMARY The authors describe a small group process of visioning what the practice of Therapy would be like if Feminist principles were valued and instituted. This visioning process was held at the annual conference of the Feminist Therapy Institute in Boston, MA, on November 3, 2002. Differences in the practice of psychology are imagined in a world where oppression and misuse of power are addressed or eradicated; those changes are imagined on local as well as global scales. Participants also looked at how the practice of psychoTherapy might be different for the therapist. The vision stretches to include some of the ways to move toward this ideal from the present.

Making Therapy Feminist: A Practice Survey
Women & Therapy, 1998Co-Authors: Marcia Hill, Mary Ballou EddAbstract:Abstract The authors wished to gather information about the ways in which experienced Feminist therapists are integrating the principles of Feminist Therapy into their practice. Two areas of interest were examined: the application of specific Therapy techniques and the ongoing background dialogue of Therapy. A survey asking two open-ended questions regarding these areas was mailed to members of the Feminist Therapy Institute. Responses were organized into categories based on Feminist Therapy principles for which there was consensus in the literature and as described in the Feminist Therapy Code of Ethics. Results showed strong support for a variety of ways on which Feminist therapists enact these principles, with particular attention given by respondents to power in the structure and relationship of Therapy. Respondents also described creative ways in which they had modified cognitive-behavioral, hypnosis, and other Therapy techniques in order to make them more compatible with Feminist principles.

The Feminist Therapy Institute Code of Ethics:: Implications for Working with Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse
Women & Therapy, 1996Co-Authors: Carolyn Zerbe EnnsAbstract:The philosophical underpinnings of the Feminist Therapy Institute (FTI) Code of Ethics, as well as its sensitivity to power issues and recognition of the complexity of ethical decision-making, provide an excellent foundation for helping Feminist therapists respond confidently and competently to clients in the midst of a cultural climate that supports increased questioning of the veracity of clients' memories of sexual abuse. The suggestions in this article are organized around three of the major themes discussed by the FTI Code of Ethics: (a) therapist knowledge and accountability, (b) cultural diversities and oppressions, and (c) egalitarian therapist-client relationships.

Twenty Years of Feminist Counseling and Therapy From Naming Biases to Implementing Multifaceted Practice
The Counseling Psychologist, 1993Co-Authors: Carolyn Zerbe EnnsAbstract:This article summarizes the history and current status of Feminist counseling and psychoTherapy. It describes the formation and development of Feminist Therapy during the 1970s, compares early commitments with aspects of change and maturation during the second decade, and reviews areas of agreement and disagreement during the 1980s and early 1990s. Initial Feminist efforts resulted in the creation of an overarching philosophical framework for Feminist psychoTherapy. The second decade was marked by rapid expansion and the application of Feminist Therapy to diverse populations and problems as well as the integration of Feminist philosophy with mainstream psychotherapeutic systems. Feminist therapists developed more complex models of personality, diagnosis, and ethical behavior and engaged in the examination and revision of early commitments. This review draws on the literatures of both social work and psychology and discusses the contribution of counseling psychologists to Feminist Therapy. It also addresse...
