Women, Sainthood, and Power
Women, Sainthood, and Power explores the life stories of an international gallery of female saints from the wide-angle lens of several intellectual disciplines and the close-up view afforded by keenly observed fine points of character.

Personality and Psychopathology
Under the scrutiny of feminist theory, traditional theories of personality and psychopathology are shown to be inadequate primarily because the theories reflect the biased cultural norms in which they were developed.

Providing invaluable insights, it is necessary reading for mainstream and feminist therapists of all disciplines.
