| Description | SUMMARY. Despite the wide acceptance that substance abuse is in part a family and cultural disease, few clinicians are trained to rec oncile traditional addiction treatment with systems therapy. This picture seems to hold true for both addiction counselors and family therapists. Substance abuse clinicians, with their focus on an indi vidual's addiction, do not always widen their lens to include the context of systems. Systems therapists do not always narrow their lens sufficiently to focus on substance abuse. An integrated, femi nist approach to bridging these differences is discussed, emphasiz ing a non-hierarchical, respectful, and curious therapist stance which can effectively challenge denial. This paper outlines how this therapist stance can be explored in a training program. Emphasis is on the person of the therapist and on the many systems in which therapists are embedded, such as family of origin. Included is a dis cussion of systems therapy techniques that help maintain a curious and non-hierarchical therapeutic stance. Book Name: Feminism and Addiction |
