With BeeLeaf Member, Dr Deborah Madden (DPhil, MA, BA(Hons), FHistS, FHEA
When
BEGINS 9TH JANUARY 2023. The course will take place for six weeks between 7.00pm and 9.00pm on 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th January and 6th and 13th February (option to attend in-person for final week).
Why enhance your practice with a greater understanding of feminism?
Recent political turmoil, economic crises, climate change and increased calls for social justice have all brought change in how clients present and the issues that they seek to address through psychotherapy. As individuals struggle to sustain a sense of power over their lives, psychotherapists are observing the impact on client work of the resurgence of feminism in the conversation of everyday life.
Whatever their gender, more and more people are tapping into the resources and possibilities that feminist approaches can offer in the face of seismic social, economic and ecological change.
Sometimes seasoned practitioners can be left out of these emergent discourses within younger client groups. Our different positions within social strata can also inhibit comment or the challenging of particular constructs and mindsets that emerge as part of the therapeutic conversation. Outcome Oriented Psychotherapists believe in meeting clients where they are and in affirming client processes of questioning and self-empowerment. We can be better resourced to align with our client’s individual challenges, strengths and possibilities when we have a more confident and layered grasp of feminism – or “The ‘F’ Word”.
What does this course offer?
The course offers an overview of the historical origins, development and different applications of feminism and its enrichment of psychotherapies. It will start by briefly looking at the emergence of feminist therapy and its emergent debates within the political context of Second Wave feminism. This includes the critical responses made by intersectional feminists. The course explores the core principles of feminist therapy in terms of its analyses of power, gender and identity, as well as specific feminist methodologies and creative practices.
