Gender and Sex in Counseling and Psychotherapy
Gender is still largely ignored as an "active" variable in counseling and is typically viewed as pertaining to women's issues or problems. The field has leap-frogged over gender, perhaps because it is too complex, perhaps because we resist change, or perhaps because our gender socialization is sufficiently effective as is. This book makes clear as to why gender must be considered in understanding the client's concerns, the process of therapy, and the counselor's role in the therapeutic interaction. Effective therapy requires an understanding of gender theory and gender processes. The approach taken in this book explains complex concepts in understandable terms, provides summaries of pertinent research findings, and applies theory and research about gender to client case examples.
Two Careers, One Family
Can a woman and a man, both of whom are career-oriented, successfully achieve a loving and enduring relationship with children and also advance in their careers? Why is it that women more often than men push for dual-career marriages? What personal and societal difficulties and obstacles do they face? What special difficulties do men experience as a result of this phenomenon? Taking us to the frontier of close relationships, where traditional gender roles are being reevaluated in light of what is both functional and optimal for persons in dual-career partnerships, Two Careers / One Family describes the current world of women and men trying to negotiate new realities at home aid at work. It also offers a glimpse of the future and the potential that exists for creative restructuring of our concepts of gender.
Men in Dual-career Families
First published in 1985. The dual-career family is emerging as the modal family form in the United States. Yet, despite its prevalence, traditional orientations and social institutions have not adapted to this pattern. This volume reports the results of a pioneering investigation of men in dual-career families and considers interventions at the societal and individual level that will ease the difficulties associated with the transition to this new family form.
Sexism and Stereotypes in Modern Society
Once the province of a small group of theorists and researchers operating on the periphery of psychological science, gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet T. Spence has been responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of fundamental difference between men and women. The simple idea of difference, once used to rationalize prejudices and discrimination, has now been replaced by a complex, sophisticated awareness of how gender is constructed and maintained. This book explores new empirical work and theoretical models about the causes and consequences of constructing gender.
