Full Description
This book fills a gap in psychotherapy by providing guidance on how to apply a gender perspective to mental health interventions. It clarifies concepts that are often misunderstood or misused, such as the difference between sex and gender, which are commonly used interchangeably in research. The volume also elaborates on various psychotherapies from a gender perspective, discusses the gender approach in psychotherapy for various pathologies, and provides guidance on how to incorporate gender into the clinical interview.
The book is intended primarily for psychiatrists and psychologists who wish to incorporate a gender perspective into their clinical practice. It emphasizes that gender is a health-related variable that can significantly impact the mental health and presentation of symptoms in individuals. It suggests that promoting women's empowerment is one of the main ways to facilitate recovery.
This volume complements the book " Psychopathology in Women, Incorporating the Gender Perspective into Descriptive Psychopathology," also published by Springer. The previous book shed light on how gender influences the presentation of psychiatric symptoms, while the present volume aims to adapt psychotherapy interventions not only to women but also to the general population taking gender into account.
