Jewish Women Speak Out: Expanding the Boundaries of Psychology is one of the first books to address, from a feminist perspective, a variety of psychological issues specific to Jewish women living in the US. The first chapters make the link between the disciplines of Judaism, Feminism and Psychology. This is followed by discussions of identity development issues, therapeutic issues and concludes with contemporary issues. The book is an outgrowth of the First International Conference on Judaism, Feminism and Psychology: Creating a Shelter in the Wilderness, held in Seattle in 1992.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Jewish Women Speak Out: Expanding The Boundaries Of Psychology is divided into four broad categories: Setting the Frame; Identity Development; Therapeutic Encounters; and Contemporary Topics. Some authors struggle with issues of identity; defining themselves as people, both in the Jewish world and in the larger society. Others grapple with issues of fear; dealing with the realties of external and internalized anti-Semitism. The issues of visibility, invisibility and over visibility weave through all the sections. The explorations of these themes helps to make Jewish women understood from their own perspectives rather than through the perspectives of other people who have attempted to define them. -- Midwest Book Review
The editors have certainly met their goal of expanding the boundaries of psychology. -- Joan C.Chrisler,Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology, Connecticut College

This review is from: Jewish Women Speak Out: Expanding the Boundaries of Psychology (Paperback)
This book is a powerful read whether or not you are Jewish. These women have done their homework and are very intelligent. I was interested in the chapter on circumcision, and this chapter is thorough and gives so much historical perspective on the subject as well as tying it to the progression of history to modern day. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are interested in the female perspective. It's a powerful read!
