Integrating Gender on Multiple Levels: A Conceptual Model for Teaching Gender Issues in Family Therapy
Williams, Lee; McBain, Heidi
Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, v32 n3 p385-397 Jul 2006
As the field of family therapy has evolved, there has been growing recognition as to the importance of gender in family therapy. To prepare the next generation of family therapists adequately, it is important that they recognize the many and complex ways in which gender permeates their work. In this article we present an integrative model to help educators teach family therapists about gender issues. The model examines how gender influences clinical work on multiple levels, including contextual levels such as society and the marriage and family therapy field. The model also acknowledges how gender can influence individuals, including clients, therapists, and supervisors. Finally, the model attempts to capture the complexity of how gender can impact the relational dynamics between two or more individuals.
