Feminist therapy: A brief integrative review of theory, empirical support, and call for new directions

Abstract The present review integrates theory and empirical research supporting the tenets of feminist therapy. Specifically, I review feminist theorists' views on the key therapeutic domains of (a) healthy and unhealthy development and (b) therapeutic change, in addition to uncovering empirical support within and beyond feminist scholarship. Finally, practical implications, new directions for future research, and interdisciplinary scholarship are discussed.
