feminism, therapy and narrative ideas
an ongoing project

This 'Feminism, therapy and narrative ideas' project has developed out of our interest in exploring how issues of gender are influencing the work of therapists and community workers. It is intended to provide a focus for new ideas as well as hopeful examples of feminist practice with individuals, families, groups and communities.

So far on this website we have published two pieces relating to this project :

* Feminism, therapy and narrative ideas: Exploring some not so commonly asked questions
   compiled by Shona Russell & Maggie Carey

* Considering issues of domestic violence and abuse in palliative care and bereavement situations
    by Judy Wright

Following on from the creation of this paper we would like to hear from you in response to any of the following questions:

• How are issues of gender influencing your work? What dilemmas are you grappling with? 
• How does the feminist challenge to therapy contribute to your work?
• How do feminist interpretations of inequality in families and relationships lead to new ways of thinking about and practising therapy and community work? 
• Where is feminist informed therapy going? 
• Do you know of hopeful examples of feminist practice with individuals, families, groups and communities? 

We hope to generate many conversations and accumulate reflections and papers on this topic. If you are interested, please write to us (Shona, Maggie and Cheryl) c/o dulwich@senet.com.au
