Abstract

ABSTRACT Menopause is a normal event that has over time taken on abnormal dimensions. This article begins by presenting menopause from socio-historical, biological, psychological, and marriage and family therapy frameworks, using a social constructionist lens to point out the problematic issues surrounding the meanings of menopause and the negative definitions of this mid-life transition process. Next, there is an emphasis on the need for mental health practitioners to work within an expanded lens and informed view of the process and construct we call menopause. Therapeutic considerations and guidelines are then presented, illustrating the associated issues clients may encounter.
