GCOUN 6038 Feminist Theories and Therapies
This course chronicles feminist theoretical development and its application to counseling and psychotherapy. Feminism is an evolving body of theory addressing issues of social justice, power, and oppression. It addresses diverse gender, social, political and racial realities. Using a critical framework, we will examine sexuality, research, and activism, alongside societal issues that result in trauma, marginalization and violence. We will explore the relationship of theory to clinical practice and the therapeutic alliance.
