CHAPTER 12 FEMINIST THERAPY ALLQUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
"Second wave" philosophies of feminism - Answer Liberal feminists, cultural feminists,
radical feminists, and social feminists
Liberal feminists - Answer Focus on helping individual women overcome the limits and
constraints of traditional gender-role socialization patterns. Liberal feminists argue for a
transformation from accepting traditional gender roles to creating equal opportunities for
both women and men.
Cultural feminists - Answer Believe oppression stems from society's devaluation of
women's strengths, values, and roles. They emphasize the differences between women
and men and believe the solution to oppression lies in feminization of the culture so that
society becomes more nurturing, intuitive, subjective, cooperative, and relational.
Radical feminists - Answer Focus on the oppression of women that is embedded in
patriarchy and seek to change society through activism and equalizing power. Radical
feminists strive to identify and question the many ways in which patriarchy dominates
every area of life including household chores, paid employment, intimate partnerships,
violence, and parenting. They challenge the many ways in which women are denied
power.
"Third wave" of feminism - Answer Embraces diversity with its inclusion of women of
color, lesbians, and the postmodern and constructivist viewpoints. New developments
also include global and international perspectives.
Postmodern feminists - Answer Provide a model for critiquing other traditional and
feminist approaches, addressing the issue of what constitutes reality and proposing
multiple truths as opposed to a single truth. The postmodern perspective is based on
the assumption that "reality is embedded in social relationships through power
relationship." Polarities such as masculine-feminine are deconstructed, which involves
an analysis of how such constructs are created.
Global international feminists - Answer Take a worldwide perspective and seek to
understand the ways in which racism, sexism, economics, and classism affect women in
different countries.
Androcentric - Answer Use of male-oriented constructs to draw conclusions about
human, including female, nature.
, Gendercentric - Answer The proposal of two separate paths of development for women
and men.
Heterosexist - Answer The view of heterosexual orientation as normative and desirable
and devaluing lesbian, gay male, and bisexual orientations.
Deterministic - Answer The assumption that personality patterns and behavior are fixed
at an early stage of development.
Intrapsychic in orientation - Answer The attribution of behavior to internal causes, which
often results in blaming the victim and ignoring sociocultural and political factors.
Gender fair - Answer Explanation of differences in the behavior of women and men in
terms of socialization processes rather than on the basis of our "innate" natures, thus
avoiding stereotypes in social roles and interpersonal behaviors.
Flexible-multicultural perspective - Answer Use of concepts and strategies that apply
equally to individuals and groups regardless of age, race, culture, gender, ability, class,
or sexual orientation.
Interactionist - Answer View that contains concepts specific to the thinking, feeling, and
behaving dimensions of human experience and accounts for contextual and
environmental factors.
Life-spanning perspective - Answer The assumption that human development is a
lifelong process and that personality and behavioral changes can occur at any time
rather than being fixed during early childhood.
Gender schemas - Answer Internalizations of the gender roles perpetuated in a sexist
society - they are evident even in very young children.
Principles of Feminist Therapy - Answer 1. The person is political
2. Commitment to social change
3. Women's and girl's voices and ways of knowing are valued and their experiences are
honored
4. The counseling relationship is egalitarian
5. A focus on strengths and a reformulated definition of psychological distress
6. All types of oppression are recognized
Egalitarian relationship - Answer Equality and shared power with clients, including an
attempt to demystify therapy.

interests of the client to equalize the client-therapist relationship, to provide modeling, to
normalize women's collective experiences, to empower clients, and to establish
informed consent.
