Reviews

A real contribution to understanding the complex issues that women face today. I found the book fascinating. -- Donna Shalala, President Until recently, women's specific issues were largely ignored. For too many years research, counseling interventions, and public policy have neglected women's voices and stories. With persistence and vigilance we now see major changes in research and practice that focus on women and their issues. Psychology played a major role in these advances and The Handbook of Counseling Women is part of the giant step forward that psychology is making in promoting counseling of women that encompasses an understanding of the gender, social/economic, and cultural impact of being a woman today. -- Norine G. Johnson, President Remarkable strategies that emphasize women's issues, detailed references and current practical applications are some outstanding features of this book! This book offers a complete examination of both traditional and progressive theories of counseling and psychotherapy for women. The authors have written with depth and clarity!Handbook of Counseling Women is a valuable and practical resource for mental health professionals, written specifically to meet the needs of female clients. Unlike many other reference books, this handbook is easy to read and comprehend. The Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling
