Women Theorists of Psychotherapy and Counseling is a much-needed unique voice to be added to counseling, psychotherapy, and mental health field during this enlightened age. Lynn Bohecker, Kirsten LaMantia, and Holly H. Wagner are quite in touch with the reality of our evolving field at this time, when the attention turns predominantly to recognizing a client’s culture, and to paying closer attention to our client’s worldview. This book will therefore broaden a helping professional’s stance on the often-forgotten contributions of women theorists. The book will, at the same time, enlighten the development and understanding of women’s contributions to our field. This book is a must-read for men and women in the helping profession field. We all need to hear the history of women’s impact in psychotherapy to understand that women and not only men contributed to the enhancement of our laudable field.
