reviewed The Myth of Empowerment: Women and the Therapeutic Culture in America on January 28, 2013
The Myth of Empowerment
The concept is cool -- is the focus on individualistic self-help strategies inhibiting our willingness to confront the (often invisible) societal factors that lead women to feel overwhelmed with the demands put on them/seek therapy?
Maybe the writing style is throwing me off, but the actual content seems... very different, and much more historical than action-oriented. I don't know. Maybe I'm just the wrong audience.
In any case, this is due to be returned to the library and I won't be sad to give it back. Did not finish, no rating.
