{"product_id":"changing-our-minds-9780814746455","title":"Changing Our Minds","description":"\u003cp\u003eWomen today are being instructed on how they can raise their self-esteem, love their inner child, survive their toxic families, overcome codependency, and experience a revolution from within. By holding up the ideal of a pure and happy inner core, psychotherapists refuse to acknowledge that a certain degree of unhappiness or dissatisfaction is a routine part of life and not necessarily a cause for therapy. Lesbians specifically are now guided to define themselves according to their frailties, inadequacies, and insecurities.\u003cbr\u003e An incisive critique of contemporary feminist psychology and therapy, \u003ci\u003eChanging our Minds\u003c\/i\u003e argues not just that the current practice of psychology is flawed, but that the whole idea of psychology runs counter to many tenets of lesbian feminist politics. Recognizing that many lesbians do feel unhappy and experience a range of problems that detract from their well-being, \u003ci\u003eChanging Our Minds\u003c\/i\u003e makes positive, prescriptive suggestions for non-psychological ways of understanding and dealing with emotional distress. \u003cbr\u003e Written in a lively and engaging style, \u003ci\u003eChanging our Minds\u003c\/i\u003e is required reading for anyone who has ever been in therapy or is close to someone who has, and for lesbians, feminists, psychologists, psychotherapists, students of psychology and women's studies, and anyone with an interest in the development of lesbian feminist theory, ethics, and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celia Kitzinger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274273665275,"sku":"9780814746455","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_aa312e10-3727-4588-8a28-36f0e2eecfb0.jpg?v=1771245168","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/changing-our-minds-9780814746455","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
