Feminist and Transpersonal Theories

For this Discussion, you will write a case conceptualization as though you were a feminist or transpersonal counselor.

As you review this week’s Learning Resources and media files, note techniques and interventions, and consider the role of a feminist counselor in planning treatment. Further, reflect on feminist therapy with respect to developing your own theoretical orientation. In what ways do you find that feminist therapy may resonate with your own point of view?

Feminist and Transpersonal Theories

The way that humans perceive their world is naturally colored by their own thoughts and experiences. In fact, it can be argued that humans are selfish and fairly self-obsessed. Many people do not have an understanding that a single event may be perceived as drastically differently by two people depending on each person’s past and current life experiences.

As a counselor, it is imperative to be cognizant of this natural selfish tendency and to listen carefully as clients describe how they view their circumstances through their unique worldview. By learning how a client’s opinions, assumptions, and reactions affect the way they experience their world, counselors can work with individuals to understand and begin to restructure their life-stories.

The two theories that will be explored this week are feminist and transpersonal theories. These are both relatively recent additions to the field, and they can help broaden your understanding of human perceptions.

Despite the name, feminist theory is not a theory just for women, by women. Growing out of the feminist movement of the 1960s, it has evolved to include anyone whose rights have been oppressed. Consider how your multiple identities and group memberships influence your own worldview.

Transpersonal theory is significantly different from many other theories, as it straddles traditional mental health practices and spiritual care. A transpersonal counselor views a client as a spiritual being and works to consider all elements of the self, including evolving states of consciousness and spiritualism, into treatment. This week, reflect on the dimensions of spirituality and awareness that would affect how an individual perceives his or her world.

Consideration of theories such as these can aid in gaining a better understanding of our clients’/students’ unique relationships with the world and will allow you to work with them to make positive changes in their lives.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Identify theorists, timeframes, and major constructs of individual theories
  • Analyze techniques/interventions associated with individual theories
  • Evaluate theories in relation to cases
