Summary

This book offers a theoretically-grounded yet practical approach to supervision based on the principles of feminist psychotherapy. Feminist therapy supervision challenges trainees and supervisors alike to engage with difficult questions about bias, and ways in which power distributes itself in the contexts of education, psychotherapy, and supervision itself. Chapters examine the impact of systemic hierarchies, and stress the importance of thinking critically about dominant cultural norms in psychotherapy and elsewhere. Includes a synthesis of the literature on feminist therapy and theory, as well as case examples and practical advice for common supervision problems.

Author Biography

Laura S. Brown, PhD, ABPP, has been a practitioner of feminist psychotherapy, supervision, and forensic psychology since the 1970s. As the author of the foundational text Subversive Dialogues: Theory in Feminist Therapy, in addition to 11 other books and more than 150 articles and book chapters, she has been a major contributor to theory and practice in the fields of feminist psychotherapy and trauma treatment. Dr. Brown has been featured in APA DVDs about feminist therapy, trauma treatment, and feminist approaches to supervision, and has also lectured on these and related topics in the United States, Canada, Israel, Taiwan, Australia, and Europe. From 2006 to 2015, she directed the Fremont Community Therapy Project, a feminist therapy training clinic that she founded. She is a fellow of nine APA divisions, the Association for Psychological Science, and the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. A late-in-life student of aikido, Dr. Brown was working toward her black belt at the time of this book's publication.
