Synopsis

Psychotherapy with Women provides a clear account of current feminist practice in working with women within the helping professions. It has arisen out of work from the Women's Therapy Centre in London and brings together contributions from eminent women psychotherapists. A wide range of issues are explored including sexuality, ageing, family dynamics, disability and ethnicity. It will appeal to students studying social work, nursing, psychology and counselling as well as to a wide range of practitioners working in the caring professions.

Book Overview: '...a succinct synopsis of the subject. The editing has resulted in a book with a style which is easy to read and frequent clinical illustrations illuminate the theory...It is simple enough for those without a large amount of theoretical knowledge to find it useful, but sufficiently detailed for those with more experience to find it of use.' - Helen Baxter, Journal of the Eating Disorders Association 'Very exciting, diverse, good to see something up to date.' - Dr Heenan, University of Bradford
