"From Menarche to Menopause: The Female Body in Feminist Therapy examines the latest research on the menstrual cycle and women's reproductive health. A panel of experts discusses how these topics may arise in therapy and provides advice on how to handle issues such as the effects of menstruation on the self-concepts of women and girls, appearance obsession as related to menstrual shame, communication about menstruation between mothers and daughters, and infertility counseling. This book fills the gap in feminist therapy literature with practical advice concerning the functions of women's bodies that can be used within the therapy context. This essential resource on women's reproductive health as it relates to mental health is an important addition to the bookshelves of feminist psychologists, clinical practitioners, social workers, and health practitioners as well as faculty and students of these disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
