Creative Moments in Relational-Cultural Therapy
Creative moments in therapy are those occasions when something new and growth-fostering occurs. This article offers three illustrations and a discussion of these characteristics. It is based on a panel discussion held at the Stone Center-Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Hospital “Learning from Women Conference” in April, 2000
How Change Happens
Change is inevitable but it can go in a positive direction toward growth or in a negative direction. Extending Patricia Hill Collins' concept of controlling images (2000), we can see how these images interact with relational images and strategies of disconnection to obstruct growth on both the societal and the personal level. In therapy, change is defined as movement-in-relationship toward better connection; and increased connection leads to grow…
Telling the Truth About Power
In this culture, those in power do not usually talk about it and the rest of us tend not to recognize it either. A similar situation exists in therapy, where the therapist herself may not be aware of her own power-over tactics. This article suggests methods that may help therapists to acknowledge their power and also to change from power-over actions to mutually empowering relationships. From this line of thinking, there follows an exploration of…
What Changes in Therapy? Who Changes
A central component of therapeutic change involves facilitating the capacity to move and be moved by the other. Another way of saying this might be that change entails experiencing a greater freedom of relational movement. The question of who and what actually changes in the process of therapy is the focus of the three vignettes that follow. Each of these examples of a change process bears, as well, a particular stamp of its own, and thus speaks …
The Relational Health Indices
A new measure of women's relationships, the Relational Health Indices (RHI), comprises three scales that assess growth-fostering connections with peers, mentors, and communities. The RHI was developed using the Relational Model (Jordan, Kaplan, Miller, Stiver, Surrey, 1991; Miller & Stiver, 1997), a theory of women's psychological development. The 37-item measure assesses three conceptual dimensions of growth-fostering relationships: engagement, …
The Experiences of Women in Prison
Women in prison represent a neglected population. The facilities and the services offered to female inmates are based primarily on models derived from male inmates. The need for this approach to change is increasingly recognized because the number of women in the correctional system is increasing at an alarming rate, the criminal profile of female inmates is distinct, and independently because the racial and ethnic composition of the female priso…

Psychological recovery in low-income single parents
Mental health literature has tended to characterize the single mother in concepts steeped in loss, grief, separation, defects, deficiencies, and the like. The single-parent family is frequently discussed in terms of “broken homes” and with a concern for “problem children.”5 Recently, a small but significant body of literature has countered these prevalent assumptions.1,2,4,7 In utilizing this newer material, it is important to study the parents’ …

Sexual inequality
Psychological consequences of sexual inequality
It is suggested that psychiatric theory is too limiting in its application to women's present situation; therapists have an obligation to understand that women's condition of social and sexual inequality is real and that the striving for liberation is valid, though fraught with conflict. The social and psychological meaning of conflict is explored, and it is concluded that the values are positive provided the conflict is exposed and examined in t…
