Gender, Power and Relationships Summary
| The publication of "Gender and Power in Families" (1990) marked a milestone in the application of feminist thinking to therapeutic work with families. This second volume of contributions from leading practitioners draws out the implications for practice in a wide range of new areas. Two areas of work which have been particularly challenging to feminist-informed systematic approaches are those of sexual and physical abuse and ethnicity. Many of the chapters of this volume explore and extend previous debates by addressing some of the contradictions and dilemmas inherent in this work. The book also considers gendered experience in changing family forms, such as step families, as well as the place of men within such strutures and within a less patriarchal society. It explores the gendered aspects of HIV prevention and describes an approach to work with women who are drug addicts. "Gender, Power and Relationships" will be invaluable reading to professionals and teachers within the therapy fields, social work, psychiatry and nursing and all those who are committed to promoting an awareness of gender in their courses. |
