Therapy and gender perspective

Feminist psychotherapy is a type of therapy with an integrative approach that takes into account the person within the context in which they live..

We all live in a world where there are clear imbalances and inequalities between genders as a consequence of a predominantly patriarchal and capitalist society., and therefore all people, of any gender, we end up suffering its consequences at some point.

in psychotherapy, the gender perspective can be key, since it allows us to investigate, review and observe how we have constructed our identity and our experiences taking into account our gender socialization. The difference with otherspsychotherapies is that it integrates the world and culture that surrounds the person into the therapeutic process.. Gender roles and mandates condition the way we are in the world and relate to ourselves and other people.. Integrating this perspective we can ask and understand questions such as:

How is it that there is so much prevalence of guilt in women??

Why is the most common emotional strategy in men through aggression or consumption?? 

How is BPD overdiagnosed? (Borderline Personality Disorder) in people read as women? 

What happens with eating disorders in men?
