Abstract

The scope of ‘women’s issues’ in counseling is an ever-evolving landscape. Recent events such as the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on women serve as powerful reminders of the necessity of this focus while underscoring a deep-rooted history of oppressive patriarchal structures. Therefore, counselors must remain informed of the unique considerations surrounding adult women in counseling and acquire proficiency in versatile techniques to meet this population’s nuanced needs. This article examines the complexity of contemporary womanhood and explores the fundamentals of Feminist Counseling Theory (FCT), a holistic, multiculturally conscious, social justice theory in counseling. It further illustrates the benefits of FCT as a foundational framework supportive of various women’s concerns and demonstrates how the integration of FCT into counseling settings will enrich the counselor-client relationship and allow for improved outcomes.
在成年女性咨询工作中整合女权主义方法
咨询中“女性问题”的范围是一个不断发展的领域。最近发生的事件,如罗伊诉韦德案的逆转以及COVID-19对妇女的不成比例的影响,都有力地提醒人们关注这一重点的必要性,同时强调了压迫性父权结构的根深蒂固的历史。因此,咨询师必须随时了解在咨询中围绕成年妇女的独特考虑因素,并熟练掌握多种技术,以满足这一群体细微的需求。本文考察了当代女性的复杂性,并探讨了女性主义咨询理论(FCT)的基本原理,这是一种整体的、多元文化意识的、社会正义的咨询理论。它进一步说明了FCT作为支持各种妇女关切的基本框架的好处,并说明了将FCT纳入咨询环境将如何丰富咨询-客户关系并改善结果。
