Women & Therapy

• The process of therapy with female clients
• Problems in living that affect women in greater proportion than men, such as depression, eating disorders, and agoraphobia
• Women's traditional and nontraditional roles in society and how these affect and can be affected by therapy, as well as the special needs of minority women, lesbians, older women, and women with disabilities
• The special needs of feminist therapists, effective interventions, and alternatives and alternatives to traditional diagnosis and treatment

The high-quality, peer reviewed articles in Women & Therapy will be of greatest interest to feminist therapists and health professionals; individuals who educate, supervise, or train therapists; individuals in training to become therapists; and feminist researchers and scholars who are interested in issues confronting women and therapy.

Few areas in psychology and related health professions have developed as quickly in recent years as women and therapy. This journal is at the forefront of this thought, investigating challenges in therapy such as:

• Gender differences and similarities as they relate to biological, personality, cognitive, and developmental factors
• Women as they enter new roles at work and in personal relationships
• The changing attitudes of therapists toward female clients that affect and reflect the changes

The consumer of therapy is better educated about women's and gender issues than ever before in history. Women make up the overwhelming majority of clients in therapy. Women & Therapy is designed to assist women and their therapists in understanding this unique relationship.
