Women's Group Therapy Creative Challenges and Options

"...extremely interesting and enlightening. Each chapter's topics come alive and will be especially appealing to both profesional and lay readers. Dr. Maass cites relevant research that informs the reader in a very understandable way." - Jane Duckworth, PhD, Professor Emerita - Counseling Psychology, Ball State University Through the use of group therapy sessions, conducted within a cognitive-behavioral framework, the author explores the cultural, social and parental influences on women's lives. In-depth case studies and transcripts from the sessions illustrate the women's actual step-by step process in examining such issues as: self-determination, motherhood as fulfillment, the consequences of a two-career family, divorce, infidelity, competitiveness among women, and identifying sources of power within and outside of oneself.
