Abstract

Abstract This article offers a perspective and an application of transnational feminist therapy with Latinas that affirm the value of testimonio as a theoretical framework. Political, social, and interpersonal levels are addressed and linked to clear roots in oral tradition and resistance movements. The goal is to share a clinical approach that applies the tenets of transnational feminism that differ from the definition of “global sisterhood” and recognizes the effects of interactive connections that apply to different levels of identity, adaptation, and wellbeing of Latinas living in the United States. Clinical vignettes shared by many Latinas living in the United States and at different points in their life cycles illustrate the relevance and negative effects caused by the intersectional components of gender, class, ethnicity, race, nation, age, and language that can lead to feelings of shame connected to societal rejections on the basis of being “the other.” An application of theory in the flesh illustrates the need to move from talking in a disembodied manner to an embodied conversation during the therapy process.

跨国女性主义实践在不同生命周期中的应用

摘要本文从拉美裔跨国女性主义治疗的视角和应用出发，肯定了证词作为一种理论框架的价值。政治、社会和人际层面的问题得到解决，并与口头传统和抵抗运动的明确根源联系起来。目的是分享一种临床方法，运用不同于“全球姐妹情谊”定义的跨国女权主义原则，并认识到适用于生活在美国的拉丁裔不同层次的身份、适应和福祉的互动联系的影响。许多生活在美国的拉丁美洲人在其生命周期的不同阶段所分享的临床小插曲说明了性别、阶级、种族、种族、民族、年龄和语言的交叉成分所造成的相关性和负面影响，这些因素可能导致以“他者”为基础的与社会排斥相关的羞耻感。理论在肉体上的应用说明了在治疗过程中需要从无实体的方式转向有实体的对话。
