Abstract
Abstract As the use of intersectionality continues to increase in psychology, so do the critiques and extensions of it. Scholars and practitioners who want to integrate intersectionality need to navigate these critiques to maximize its effectiveness and minimize its potential pitfalls. We examine critiques and extensions of intersectionality, particularly as they apply to mental health theory and practice. We focus on two particular cases, namely assemblage theory and decolonial intersectionality, to discuss ways in which extensions of intersectionality can promote a broader, more inclusive model of intersectional social justice and well-being.
期刊介绍:
Women & Therapy is the only professional journal that focuses entirely on the complex interrelationship between women and the therapeutic experience. Devoted to descriptive, theoretical, clinical, and empirical perspectives on the topic of women and therapy, the journal is intended for feminist practitioners as well as for individuals interested in the practice of feminist therapy. The journal focuses on a wide range of content areas, including: •issues in the process of therapy with female clients •problems in living that affect women in greater proportion than men, such as depression, eating disorders, and agoraphobia •women"s traditional and nontraditional roles in society and how these affect and can be affected by therapy.
