Abstract

This clinical case example illustrates the benefits of a feminist approach to therapy in addressing the unique experiences of gender questioning adolescents. We will illustrate the successful use of feminist therapy in our work with a biracial, bisexual, adolescent client who reported questioning his gender expression and gender identity. The client used he/him/his pronouns at the time of our work together; we also regularly checked in with our client about pronouns throughout our sessions. The authors conducted co-therapy with this client, working as a treatment team. Feminist therapy offers an affirmative, intersectional, and strengths-based approach to work with gender diverse clients. Feminist therapy is particularly well-suited to this work because it explicitly connects the personal with the socio-political.

摘要

这个临床案例说明了女权主义治疗方法在解决青少年性别质疑的独特经历方面的好处。我们将说明女权主义疗法在我们与一名混血儿、双性恋、青少年客户的合作中的成功应用，该客户报告质疑他的性别表达和性别认同。客户在我们一起工作时使用了他/他/他的代词；在整个会议期间，我们还定期与客户核对代词。作者以治疗团队的形式与该客户进行了联合治疗。女权主义疗法提供了一种肯定的、交叉的和基于优势的方法来与性别多样化的客户合作。女权主义疗法特别适合这项工作，因为它明确地将个人与社会政治联系起来。
