Abstract

Abstract The Caribbean region represents a mosaic of cultures and languages, bound by a common experience of colonization, and marked by distinct histories of freedom and independence. Throughout the various countries that comprise the region, the role and importance of women is clearly recognized, highlighted, and demonstrated. Gender issues and feminist ideals have been and continue to be an area of discourse in all disciplines, including psychology. In this article, we provide an overview of the Caribbean region in order to contextualize the information presented. Next, we highlight three different countries in the region, US Virgin Islands, Haiti, and Guyana, to showcase the characteristics and experiences (i.e., gender role and gender socialization) of women in these respective countries, as well representations of feminist ideals. Lastly, we highlight the integration of Caribbean cultural backgrounds, social/political contexts, and feminist ideals in psychotherapeutic interventions with women in the region with specific recommendations for psychotherapy treatment process and outcomes.

加勒比海妇女的心理治疗:来自美属维尔京群岛、海地和圭亚那的例子

加勒比地区是一个文化和语言的马赛克，有着共同的殖民化经历，有着独特的自由和独立历史。在构成该区域的各个国家，妇女的作用和重要性得到了明确的承认、强调和证明。性别问题和女权主义理想一直是并将继续是包括心理学在内的所有学科的讨论领域。在这篇文章中，我们对加勒比地区进行了概述，以便结合所提供的信息。接下来，我们重点介绍该地区的三个不同国家，美属维尔京群岛、海地和圭亚那，以展示这些国家妇女的特点和经验（即性别角色和性别社会化），以及女权主义理想的代表。最后，我们强调了加勒比文化背景、社会/政治背景和女权主义理想在该地区妇女心理治疗干预中的融合，并对心理治疗过程和结果提出了具体建议。
