Description

This book is the collective outcome of the first National Conference on Education and Training in Feminist Practice, convened to explore, integrate, and create a cohesive agenda for training and educating in feminist practice for the next decade. It brings together the nation's foremost feminist psychologists to address how psychology can be recreated in keeping with feminist principles and practices. Shaping the Future of Feminist Psychology explores how widely held feminist tenets, such as empowerment, diversity, and the value of all voices, can be integrated across the field of psychology - specifically in the areas of theory, assessment, therapy, curriculum, pedagogy, research, diversity issues, supervision, and postdoctoral training. Each chapter presents a set of principles to guide future development in these areas and explores practices that embody these principles. This volume will be of interest to psychologists who wish to incorporate feminist principles into their work and to educators who wish to institute a gender-sensitive curriculum within undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training.
