Feminist therapy has been challenging mainstream therapy thinking and practice for the past thirty years. The Foundation and Future of Feminist Therapy is the first book to provide a summary and compilation of that history. It describes the work of the major contributors, early and recent, and gives an essential overview of the rich and radical development of feminist therapy. This book breaks new ground by envisioning a feminist-informed future in the areas of therapy practice, the education of therapists, and community.
