Details for Execution:

Some of the techniques employed during a session of feminist therapy are;

Power Analysis and Power Intervention
Aims on becoming aware of the power difference between men and women in society and empowering to take charge of one’s self and life.
Also includes recognizing different kinds of power that clients possess or to which they have access.
Assertiveness Training
Aims to become aware of their interpersonal rights, transcend stereotypical gender roles, change negative beliefs, and implement changes in their daily lives.
Group Work:
Group work alone is often the preferred modality for some issues that women experience in our culture. Self-help groups and advocacy groups help women
experience their connectedness and unity with other women.
The principal goals of client empowerment & social transformation can be very impactful in clients' lives & the larger society. Feminist therapy has encouraged
many women to question gender roles & values and to reject limitative societal expectations. It has advocated for gender-sensitive practice and attention to the role power
plays in relationships. The feminist perspective has brought attention to social issues including domestic violence, child abuse, rape, incest, & sexual harassment.
