This book introduces feminist-inspired approaches to clinical psychology that broaden the scope of practice and take into account the particular challenges that young women face in today’s world, while also considering concerns about labelling them ‘victims’.
Rosalyn Shute’s easy to read book covers the spectrum of feminism from ancient days to the present, stimulating the reader to reflect on their own individual, professional and societal experiences. A must read for undergraduate students to experienced psychologists who wish to enrich their professional practice.
