Description
Betty McLellan surveys the development of psychotherapy and discusses the theory of feminist therapy. She uncovers the oppressiveness of Freudian psychoanalysis, humanistic therapies, lesbian sex therapy, new age and popular psychologies. McLellan explodes myths about women's mental and emotional 'illness'. The book concludes with a feminist therapy that calls for total commitment to action in the world to meet women's needs, both individual and collective.
