Female adolescents often come to therapy with symptoms of growing up female in a patriarchal culture. Several authors have suggested a need for feminist intervention to help adolescent females become aware of societal messages and to empower them to reject unhealthy messages (Davidson, 1995; Dellebuur, 1996; Hoghuni & Richardson, 1997; Mahowald, 1995; Ortiz, 1987; Pipher, 1994; Smith, 1991).

A pilot curriculum was implemented with positive outcomes for participants. |
