Description
If women's difficulties are not to be trivialized then political, societal and historical frameworks, besides individual dynamics, must be appreciated. The use of clinical material demonstrates the value of such an approach and provides a framework in which to describe the counselling process.

Description
Moira Walker asserts that women live in a society that exerts powerful pressures upon them. She argues that when women present for counselling it is essential to understand and acknowledge the interactions between their inner and outer worlds. In this way political, societal and historical frameworks, as well as individual dynamics, must be appreciated if women's difficulties are not to be trivialized. The use of clinical material not only demonstrates the value of such an approach, but also provides a framework in which to describe the counselling process.
