“…It appears that all the aspects of power, defined by Proctor (), were being re‐enacted within many therapeutic relationships, leading to defensive attitudes, mistrust and disconnection. If these are not addressed within therapy, Chalifoux () warns that shame, secrecy and guilt are perpetuated, thus reinforcing the ‘inferior’ client's feelings of powerlessness and subordination (Goodwin, Kaestle & Piercy, ), or keeping the ‘superior’ client stuck in a cycle of collusion and oppression (Baughan, ; Utt, ).…”

“…These authors argued that academics should critique the colonial agenda (i.e., ideologies of the dominant culture) and acknowledge the legitimacy of indigenous knowledge and performance.

“…Family relations scholars have quantitatively approached the study of (sexist) gender role attitudes, exploring their link to other constructs, such as marital satisfaction, role overload, and housework (Helms, Walls, Crouter, & McHale, 2010;Shapiro, 2014;Toomey, Updegraff, Umaña-Taylor, & Jahromi, 2015). Most family therapy scholarship on gender and gender-based power is qualitative and involves analyses of interview data involving therapists (Goodwin, Kaestle, & Piercy, 2013;Keeling & Piercy, 2007;Knudson-Martin et al, 2015;Parker, 2009) or family members (Cowdery et al, 2009;Maciel et al, 2009;Reynolds and Knudson-Martin, 2015), with some studies exploring recorded interactions between therapists and clients (Ward & Knudson-Martin, 2012).…”

“…For example, therapists are advised to discuss gender and power in respectful ways, challenge gender and inequality only when the alliance is strong, use nonthreatening approaches, and promote reconstruction of meaning. Goodwin et al (2013) used grounded theory to analyze 10 feminist-identified therapists' accounts, generated through interviews, of how they have developed as feminist therapists and how they have resisted and colluded with oppression. The authors suggested, among other conclusions, that "drawing attention [to gender and power] can be done through provoking conversation, recognizing the social prescription of values, exposing relationships, examining prevalent discourse, and critiquing social norms" (p. 244).…”
