Feminist therapy can be long term because it has to do with clients’ goals in life and making their lives better each day. The counselor has to be very careful in this type of therapy they cannot impose their own values especially about race, gender, sex, and class. In comparison to the client the counselor should be aware of their privilege in regards to socioeconomic status, race, and sexual orientation. This is to make sure that the client and counselor can built a relationship of trust with each other and power can be balanced somewhat. Some of the feminist therapist let their clients know of their perspective others will not address it because of the stereotypes associated with their feministic perspective. The key is not to enforce values

Germany accepted that the Rhineland would remain a demilitarised zone.
Two statistics really stood out to me. The first fact from Miss Representation being that only 16% of women are protagonist in films. Even in these movies where the writers and producers has control of what is possible in the world in which the world takes place, they still choose to place a man in the starring role. If someone can have superpowers or be living in an alternate universe is it so far-fetched that it would be a women in charge?

The goal of Feminist Therapists is to make their clients feel empowered and help them in the daily aspects of life. These aspects that pertain to society’s attitude about them and their place in society. Goals are to define ways that non-Caucasian women are being oppressed and for the client to be familiar with these norms. This will better help her gain power within her everyday life and create confidence in her at work or school.

Western literature is historically and inherently rooted in a masculine bias largely as a part of the past millennium of patriarchal order. Amongst the abundance of works of which can be attributed to reflect this bias, Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities is most suiting. Written in the Victorian Age, Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities seems historical, as to the plot revolves around the French Revolution, with its bloody guillotine blade, the poor, starving bourgeoisie, and the indifferent aristocrats of whom inevitably fall. Yet, from a critical perspective, Dickens’ seems to be critiquing society. Throughout the work, he encompasses the idea that as long as violence and inequality exist, human suffering will notoriously subsidize as a contemporary
Women often have a stereotypical role in our society. Whether it is today or back in the 1800’s. Women are to cook, clean and take care of the children at home. The fact is, women can do more than that. They deserve more respect than what they get. Sex nor race does not define who someone is. It is what is on the inside that defines what they are capable of.
Everyone and everything has a stereotype attached to it, however just because we have an idea of what the majority believes does not mean that the majority will always be correct. Throughout our class discussions, I was surprised to see just how often I stereotype people. I also realized just how harmful these snap judgments can be, not to mention how inaccurate. While we were going through the list of things we thought of when we thought of men and women it was easy to joke about how some of them may be true due to our personal experience however if you were to look at these stereotypes in different contexts it may not be as amusing.
Women stereotypes have kept women from being successful in male dominated jobs. With women being housewives and care givers they do not fit the role of being a laborer. Gaining education and joining male dominated jobs have changed the trend of being house wives and care givers. Single mothers can have been working and being a care giver for many years now. Many skills that women have exceled at such as multitasking has helped women become successful in many fields of work. Regardless of the efforts women make to succeed in male dominated jobs they are passed up by other men for higher level jobs. With women starting to have interests in mathematics, mechanics, and other male dominated jobs they must conform into male dominated jobs. When women
In this essay I will focus my discussion on who should counsel others in feminist family therapy. I will answer if a man can be a feminist family therapist, if a therapist can do feminist family therapy with an individual and what gender should the counsellor be, and can a therapist do family therapy with both adults and children either in groups or individually.

Feminist is a word that has many connotations in the United States. The word itself has a definition of a person who advocates for women’s rights. However, the stereotyped feminist is someone with a negative reputation.
Feminist Psychology really started to flourish in the 1960’s and 1970’s. There isn’t any one particular theorist that can be credited for Feminist Therapy; rather there were a combination of psychologist who aided in the creation of Feminist Therapy. Feminist Psychologist tried to eliminate the sexist aspects of other traditional theories, but still integrate parts of those other theories that worked. The goals that the original Feminist Psychologist established in the 60’s and 70’s are still used today. One of the goals of Feminist Therapy is to establish a relationship with a mutual understanding of power. The therapist should understand that the client is the expert on her own issues. It is important for the therapist to know that the therapist is only there to help the client develop the tools that are necessary to reach her maximum potential as a valuable and unique individual. The second main goal of Feminist Therapy is change. Feminist Therapy strives to not only help the individual change for the better, but also society (Mahaney, 2014). Gender issues, like gender stereotyping and gender roles, can lead to psychological distress in individuals therefore they need to be addressed. Gender stereotypes and gender roles can negatively impact a person’s identity, because of this Feminist Therapy is not only for women, but for men as well. Both women and men can benefit from Feminist Therapy because it helps individuals better understand the impact the gender stigmas play on a person’s mental health. Females live in a mostly
