Understanding Depression among Gifted Adolescent Females: Feminist Therapy Strategies.

Sands, Toni; Howard-Hamilton, Mary

Roeper Review, v17 n3 p192-95 Feb-Mar 1995

Research on depression among gifted adolescent females is reviewed. A psychotherapeutic model drawing on established feminist therapy strategies is presented for counselors working with gifted adolescent females. The model emphasizes recognizing harmful effects of patriarchal society, supporting females in self-exploration, and pursuing nonsexist frames of reference in discussing career and lifestyle options.
