Refreshing, necessary exposure to the problem with exposure therapies for trauma
In this invited commentary, I address what I see as the major contributions Rubenstein et al. (2024) have made to challenging the hegemony of exposure therapies for trauma-exposed persons. These include a thorough review of the history of the rise of exposure therapies, the identification of posttrauma responses as forms of anxiety disorders, and an extensive discussion of the neurobiology of the trauma response. Additionally, Rubenstein et al. e…

Feminist Therapy as a Path to Friendship with Women
While many feminist therapists have found that their personal experiences of friendship have given them an experiential base from which to develop their work, some feminist therapists have had alternative journeys through connections with women. This article explores how the author transformed her childhood and adolescent experiences of relational aggression into a deepened understanding of the value and importance of relationships between women.…
A Look Back at “New Voices, New Visions”
Here's my Story
Fathers tend to be excluded and ‘invisible’ participants in the child welfare system. We interviewed fathers with ‘looked after’ children in a child protection system in Western Canada. They wanted active roles in children's lives and to become engaged fathers, whether the children were theirs by birth or not. Their stories exposed the strategies they used to convince social workers that they were ‘good enough’ fathers. In the telling, they revea…

Cultural competence in trauma therapy
"Few of the excellent models that have been developed for working with trauma survivors take into account the complexity of an individual's unique background and experience. Even treatment for members of "special groups" often ignores the individual's multilayered identities--which may include age, social class, ethnicity, religious faith, sexual orientation, and immigrant status--in favor of a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Drawing on her extensi…
Reflection on Kashubek-West, Szymanski, and Meyer's Major Contribution
This reflection considers themes emerging from the Major Contribution on internalized heterosexism (IH), focusing on unexpected potentials emerging from the literature reviewed and research done. It discusses the importance of understanding multiple identities, intersections of social locations, and cultural coping strategies as a means of seeing resilience in the face of cultural and internalized stigma. It also examines questions of directional…
Still Subversive After All These Years
In this article, based on my Carolyn Wood Sherif Memorial Award Address, I address questions of the viability of feminist practice in the current Zeitgeist. Using the framework of responding to questions raised by doctoral students about feminist therapy, I address how feminist practice aligns with the evidence-based practice movement, particularly those aspects focusing on empirically supported therapy relationships. I propose that feminist diag…
Only The Goyim Beat Their Wives, Right
Beyond Color and Culture
This article reviews the work of important feminist theorists and contributors in several areas of human diversity. Work on the topics of women and disability, women's sexual orientations, women and social class, women's aging, and women's experiences as refugees and immigrants is reviewed and discussed. We propose future directions for feminist therapy theory and practice that integrates this expanded body of knowledge about women's lives

Feminist Responses to the `False Memory' Debate
Politics of Memory, Politics of Incest
This article takes a political and historical perspective on feminist therapy's relationship to incest and recovered memory. The criticisms of feminist therapy raised by the so-called False Memory Syndrome (FMS) movement are analyzed within the context of feminist therapy theory, and found to misrepresent actual feminist practice. Applications of feminist therapy theory to work with clients are employed to illustrate how an egalitarian and empowe…

New Voices, New Visions
This article proposes an alternative model for psychological inquiry based in the experiences of lesbians and gay men. I propose that there are three elements that cross-situationally define a lesbian and gay reality: biculturalism, marginality, and normative creativity. Each of these elements is explored with examples of how these perspectives might alter the way that certain dominant notions about human relationships are understood. The article…
Lesbian Career Development, Work Behavior, and Vocational Counseling
Women 's career development has recently been a popular topic in counseling psychology, for both theoretical and empirical work This article extends that line of inquiry to address the unique career development issues of lesbians. The available literature on lesbians and work is reviewed, and parallels are drawn between the work experiences of lesbians, nonlesbian women, and other minority status groups. Three models of career development in wome…
The Meaning of a Multicultural Perspective for Theory-Building in Feminist Therapy
This article critically examines the development of theory in feminist therapy and raises the question of whether feminist therapy is currently a therapy reflecting the lives and realities of all women. Internal and external barriers to the inclusion of women of color, poor women, and other non-white or middle class groups in the process of feminist therapy theory-building are examined. A specific topic within feminist therapy theory, that of wom…

Fat-Oppressive Attitudes and the Feminist Therapist
This article will examine the responses of other feminist therapists to the author's anti-fat-oppressive stance. These reactions will be used as a base from which to generate some hypotheses regarding the difficulties that continue to be faced by women therapists in attempts to identify and reduce internalized fat-oppressive attitudes regarding their own bodies and those of their women clients. Suggestions for heightening personal awareness regar…
Confonting Internalized Oppression in Sex Therapy with Lesbians
This paper focuses on a much-neglected aspect of therapy with lesbian clients: treatment of sexual dysfunction. It examines roots of dysfunction that can be found in cultural homophobia and misogyny, and presents a theoretical framework for intervention in the sexual problems of lesbian clients

The Divided Plot
The unique divided tragicomedy of the early Restoration is a singularly problematic drama-an apparently chaotic, contradictory form in which irreconcilable dramatic types share the same stage. Works like Etherege's The Comical Revenge (1664), James Howard's All Mistaken (1667?),1 Charles Sedley's The Mulberry-Garden (1668), or Dryden's Secret Love (1667) and Marriage A-la-Mode (1671)2 characteristically juxtapose two plots of equivalent importanc…

Reading Race and Gender
To say the truth, I had conceived a few scruples with relation to the distributive justice of princes upon those occasions. For instance, a crew of pirates are driven by a storm they know not whither, at length a boy discovers land from the topmast, they go on shore to rob and plunder, they see an harmless people, are entertained with kindness, they give the country a new name, they take formal possession of it for the king . . . they murder two …
