Feminist therapy practice: Visioning the future

The authors describe a small group process of visioning what the practice of therapy would be like if feminist principles were valued and instituted. This visioning process was held at the annual conference of the Feminist Therapy Institute in Boston, MA, on November 3, 2002. Differences in the practice of psychology are imagined in a world where oppression and misuse of power are addressed or eradicated; those changes are imagined on local as well as global scales. Participants also looked at how the practice of psychotherapy might be different for the therapist. The vision stretches to include some of the ways to move toward this ideal from the present.
