Abstract
Clinicians have largely based conceptions of mental health on male experiences and individual-level factors. Based on the principles of the feminist Consciousness Raising groups of the 1970s, feminist therapy underscores the importance of attending to minority viewpoints and examining social contexts in discussions of mental health and life distress. After reviewing ways in which therapists can be culturally sensitive, I will argue that feminist therapy, with its emphasis on sociocultural context, advocacy, client-therapist collaboration, and therapist disclosure is particularly suited to meeting the therapeutic needs of women of color.
