Full Description
Using an intersectional approach, this book amplifies the voices of those who were and continue to be at the frontlines resisting and responding to sexual violence during the rise of digital feminist movements, including #NoMore, #TimesUp, and most notably #MeToo.
This book outlines the current socio-political landscape, including increased visibility of movements such as #NoMore, #TimesUp, and most notably #MeToo, and the public showcase of accused perpetrators becoming elected to the highest offices in the United States (e.g., Brett Kavanaugh's election to the Supreme Court, Donald Trump's election to the Presidency). It offers note to how this political landscape has impacted survivors and therapists, alike. The second volume include 5 chapters that highlight the experiences of feminist therapists and their therapeutic approaches. The chapters in this volume explore the role of technology and digital feminisms on survivor's experience and its influence on therapist and therapeutic interventions.
Both the volumes together cover a wide range of perspectives that bring to light the solidarity that was built among survivors, regardless of identity and experience, within the current socio-political climate while continuing to center the voices of those who are most often marginalized. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
