Description and Table of Contents
Description
Through the use of group therapy sessions, conducted within a cognitive-behavioural framework, this book explores the cultural, social and parental influences on women's lives. In-depth case studies and transcripts from the sessions illustrate the women's actual step-by-step process in examining such issues as: motherhood as fulfillment; self-determination; the consequences of a two-career family; divorce; infidelity; competitiveness among women; and identifying sources of power within and outside of oneself. Each chapter concludes with a summary of the group process, questions for consideration and recommended readings. For the practitioner, this volume lends itself to working with groups in counselling or with support groups, and for the educator as a text for courses in women's studies.
