Abstract
Can feminist family therapists adequately treat men without, at one extreme, giving into their socialization and giving up themselves, or without, at the other, marginalizing or blaming men? Because of men's and women's natural interdependence, in order for feminism to realize the deepest liberation of women's power and capacity, not only is it possible, but also it is essential that the issue of our working with men and boys be addressed. Further, to practice ethically, feminist family therapists must develop a clinical stance that is gender-sensitive to all family members. In this article, a major potential block to ethical practice with all family members is discussed: unexamined personal biases that form therapists' countertransference issues that bleed into clinical practice.
