Beyond Psychoppression: A Feminist Alternative Therapy

A guide to therapy which explores the intersection between the personal and the political. Betty McLellan surveys the development of psychotherapy and discusses the theory of feminist therapy. She uncovers the oppressiveness of Freudian psychoanalysis, humanistic therapies, lesbian sex therapy, new age and popular psychologies.
