Gender and Sex in Counseling and Psychotherapy: Lucia Albino Gilbert

This book explains why it is imperative to consider gender in understanding the client's concerns, the process of therapy, and the counselor's role in the therapeutic interaction. Effective therapy requires an understanding of gender theory and gender processes. The approach taken in this text is to present complex concepts in understandable terms, provide summaries of pertinent research findings, and apply theory and research about gender to client cases and examples.
