Summary
This chapter highlights the relevance of women’s experience and the leadership that women play in psychotherapy. We briefly review contributions of women in transforming psychotherapy from a field dominated by male views to one being inclusive toward liberation, and empowerment and emancipation of women and culturally diverse clients in the West. We also present evidence of women’s leadership in psychological healing practice and professional development of psychotherapy around the world, using China and Guatemala as examples. As clients, scholars, or practitioners, women’s voices and experience have challenged traditionally gender-biased practice of psychotherapy. The feminization of the psychotherapy workforce demonstrates the degree to which women have stepped up and shouldered the responsibility for mental health care in the United States and worldwide.Framed in an international and contextual perspective, we recommend best practices for clients of all genders and cultures, especially women, to be growth-oriented, relationship-focused, and strength-based.
