Children's Rights, Therapists' Responsibilities: Feminist Commentaries

by Gail Anderson (Editor), Marcia Hill (Editor)

Children's Rights, Therapists’ Feminist Commentaries addresses specific practice dimensions that will help therapists organize and resolve conflicts about working with children, adolescents, and their families in therapy. You'll find a collection of pieces on specific potentially problematic therapy conditions that allows you to easily turn to your area of interest for advice. Each chapter stands alone while building upon the big picture of feminist ethics and therapy with children and adolescents. Providing a feminist focus on the mental health rights and needs of children and adolescents, Children's Rights, Therapists’ Feminist Commentaries emphasizes our need to make the best decisions without letting personal prejudices, biases, experiences, needs, or desires cloud our judgment. A particular point of view exposes the tendency for therapists to work either with children and exclude parents, or to work with parents and exclude the children, and offers a feminist view of parents and children being treated together.
