西方女性主义视野的心理治疗

Western Feminist Psychotherapy

西方女性主义心理治疗是在女性主义思潮的影响下出现的,尽管治疗家们的观点不尽一致,但却达成了一些共同的看法,它们是:强调在情境中理解个体的行为;强调两性在生活中权力平等;强调治疗关系中的协作与权力共享;强调心理治疗的价值取向。女性主义心理治疗带来的启示是,必须要对个体所处的社会环境和价值体系的合理性提出不断的质疑,用批判的眼光去考察宏观的社会环境;此外,女性主义取向的心理治疗还对西方心理治疗的“正统”地位发起了挑战,引发了关于心理治疗的多元化和本土化的思考。西方女性主义心理治疗在新世纪里当会有长足的发展。
