What is feminist counseling? How does it differ from more traditional approaches to counseling? Can a feminist approach to counseling be used with male clients? In this practical volume, Chaplin weaves together theory and practice to provide a feminist guide to counseling from the referral process to termination. Topics addressed include: the initial interview process; developing feedback and interpretation skills; the special relationship between client and counselor; and techniques for treating depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, exercises and discussion topics are included in each chapter. Designed as a step-by-step guidebook, Feminist Counseling In Action is an ideal text or text supplement for courses in clinical psychology. It will also be valuable to the professional counselor or therapist wishing to employ feminist counseling techniques in their own day-to-day work. "The book is stimulating, leaving many ideas to reflect on. It gives a constructive account of the distinctive features of feminist counselling, as process and relationship." --The British Journal of Psychiatry "Throughout the text, Chaplin's voice is one of optimism as she frames everything in life as rhythmic and cyclical--a pattern of beginnings, endings, and new beginnings. Her practice wisdom, solidly grounded in her own rhythms, is a gift to all." --AFFILIA "Case histories are detailed in the book which will be of help to trainee and practicing counsellors alike. . . . The book holds something of interest for all readers." --Morning Star "In a clear and practical way, the author shows how counselling can help 'to melt down' hierarchical ways of thinking and relating, and transform them into more healthy processes of responding to rhythmic change." --Analytisch Repertorium
