| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to examine the role of feminist therapy
in empowering women in the Malaysian Chinese community. This study is
divided into two parts. First, to examine feminist therapy philosophical
assumptions, problem conceptualizations and intervention strategies,
elements differentiating feminist therapy from conventional counseling
and possibilities of reconciliation the two are also examined. Second,
applicability of feminist therapy in Malaysian Chinese community is also
studied. In addition, effects of sex-role stereotypes and related gendered
beliefs affecting women in the Chinese community are also explored. Content analysis on twelve cases by a counselor from Red Dust
Counseling center was used in this research to identify themes of feminist
therapy and also to examine how power relations and sex-role stereotypes
