Editorial Reviews

Review

"Heartening, scholarly work. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above in psychology, counseling, human development, sociology, and gender studies programs."--Choice

"This is an excellent book....For readers who have had no experience with feminist critique of clinical psychology and psychotherapy this book will be an eye-opener that answers many questions while raising many more. For those who are familiar with the territory this book is a challenge to readers to beware of complacency, and to not assume that the demands of feminism have been satisfied because all wrongs have been righted. This is a powerfully thought-provoking book that will complement any other text devoted to the discussion of mental health and disorder."--Metapsychology

Review

"This very important book will change the way we construe and work with so-called 'mental illness.' It will help theorists and therapists better understand how considering person and environment is basic to working with severely distressed clients. Reading this book with an open mind will make a difference in your thinking, your writing, and your effectiveness with clients, both women and men. I could not recommend it more highly."--Allen E. Ivey, EdD, ABPP, Department of Psychology (Emeritus), University of Massachusetts

"This provocative volume challenges mainstream ideas about personality and psychopathology that are narrow in perspective, regressively biological, or inattentive to context. Instead, it gives emphasis to relationship, identities, multiple influences, and different ways of knowing to build theories that are relevant to diverse groups. Gender and culture matter, in both theory and practice! Calling into question the pathologizing of distress and difficulty, the authors reexamine human resilience and experience in order to honor and help in ways that are liberating and relevant. This book is a 'must' for graduate-level courses on feminism and theories of human behavior."--Jean Lau Chin, EdD, ABPP, CEO Services, Newton, MA

"This book is at the cutting edge of the field of feminist psychology, indeed at the cutting edge of the newest developments in psychological theory. It offers critique as well as new avenues for the development of theory and research. The editors have assembled a group of outstanding theoreticians and practitioners, selecting authors who are both knowledgeable and creative. The book will be an excellent addition to the reading lists of graduate courses in the psychology of women and personality theory, and an invaluable reference for feminist scholars."--Oliva M. Espin, PhD, Department of Women's Studies, San Diego State University


"...welcome and effective....[The editors] collected articles about current problems in diagnosing and treatment of women, and nearly all should be required reading for all mental health professionals and trainers....The Ballou and Brown book helps us monitor ongoing struggles and address new ones."--Contemporary Psychology
