Synopsis

This book offers a theoretically-grounded yet practical approach to supervision based on the principles of feminist psychotherapy. Feminist therapy supervision challenges trainees and supervisors alike to engage with difficult questions about bias, and ways in which power distributes itself in the contexts of education, psychotherapy, and supervision itself. Chapters examine the impact of systemic hierarchies, and stress the importance of thinking critically about dominant cultural norms in psychotherapy and elsewhere. Includes a synthesis of the literature on feminist therapy and theory, as well as case examples and practical advice for common supervision problems.

About this title

Review:

“Brown entreats supervisors and trainees alike to unpack power dynamics and engage collaboratively, rather than rely on fallback strategies such as denial, compliance, pleasing, avoidance, self-deprecation, authoritarianism, and other self-protective coping tactics that thwart personal and professional growth and derail social change.” —PsycCRITIQUES
