Professional Training for Feminist Therapists: Personal Memoirs
Professional training for feminist therapists a contradiction in terms? Over a year ago, we asked feminist therapists to write about their own training as feminists and as therapists. What was it like becoming a feminist? What was it like undergoing training as a therapist? Which came first? What were the professional/personal/ ethical dilemmas along the way? How did the professional training influence current practice today?
What follow are personal memoirs from seventeen women. Two women, mother and daughter, both therapists, one trained in the 1930s and one in the 1970s, reminisce to each other about their professional training. One woman writes about entering graduate school in the 1950s, at a time when women in her psychology graduate program were prohibited from specializing solely in research, since there were no academic positions for women. Another woman describes her psychoanalytically-oriented graduate program before she was aware of feminism. Another is raped in her home and years later enters graduate school in order to work with clients who have been sexually abused. One woman enters a counseling graduate program during the politically conscious 60s. Another writes about sabotage of her teaching by the old-boy network. One woman describes the experience of coming out as a lesbian in medical school and during a psychiatric residency program. Another woman writes about the double minority status of being female and Japanese-American. One woman enters graduate school comfortable with her identity as Black and female and has to confront the alienation and invisibility of her presence in an all-White classroom. Six women who are currently in graduate school describe the dilemma of evolving as feminists while concurrently developing as psychologists. And a woman who is in her first year of graduate school describes the transition from a womens studies undergraduate focus to a traditional research institution.
The accounts that follow are that combination of painful memories, active struggle, impromptu friendship, and humor that have become so familiar to women as we struggle for professional development without eliminating our own identities. The memoirs appear in order of years of graduate training, from earliest to most recent. Nevertheless, there are more commonalities across the years than differences, as even current graduate students describe feminism as an alien concept in their training.
It was impossible to read these memoirs without thinking of our own training. Esther had completed her Ph.D. at age 25, had mostly male mentors and was encouraged to publish early on in her career. It wasnt until her internship that she met other feminist graduate students and began to write about her research areas from a feminist perspective. Her mentors, concerned, advised her to discontinue her focus on women for the sake of her career. Fortunately she disregarded their advice for her professional work now focuses entirely on feminist research, editing, teaching, and community activism.
Ellen dropped out of a prestigious doctoral program, with an all-male faculty, in her mid-twenties because she was pregnant and her husband had accepted a job in another state. Eleven years and four children later she completed her doctoral work at a nontraditional institution, with a wonderfully supportive and competent female faculty advisor, and became licensed to practice psychology in Vermont. At about the same time, she read The Second Sex
