1st Edition
by Carmen Inoa Vazquez (Author), Lillian Comas-Diaz (Editor)
In this book, twelve eminent
Latina Psychologists illustrate how they practice gender- and
culture-sensitive psychotherapy, counseling, research, pedagogy, social
justice, and mentoring. They share how they create their own path in the
midst of oppression – by becoming aware of the connection between their
lives and their gendered, cultural, social, and political circumstances
– and how they liberate themselves and those who seek their
psychological services. Based on lived experiences, they reveal how they
integrate a borderlands theory, a testimonio method, and an
embodiment analysis into a Latina Feminist Psychology. More importantly,
these Latina Psychologists offer easy-to-follow advice to help readers
thrive while living in the cultural borderlands.
