Example text
Like the other critical standpoints in feminist, multicultural, antiracist, and liberation theories, critical psychology shares a commitment to viewing reality from the perspectives of nondominant groups, rather than from the status quo. Fox and Prilletensky (1997), joint editors of an anthology titled Critical Psychology, describe the goal of critical psychologists as being “agents for social change rather than agents of social control” (p. 5). Critical theory, as it has come to community and social psychology, offers an integrative position that explicitly examines the theory, inquiry, and practices of psychology from outside of the dominant standpoint.
POWER AS THE CONTEXT OF THERAPY If the feminist therapist makes a commitment both to the recognition and naming of power and to changing the power dynamics imposed by oppressive systems, she needs to do this as part of an alliance with the person in therapy, or she risks duplicating the effects of that larger system. As the therapist begins work with Anna and Sergei, for instance, she needs to establish this alliance in a way that includes an open acknowledgment of the power of systems outside the therapy relationship, power that affects not only Anna and Sergei but also the therapist personally and as a therapist.
More generally, traditional research designs require measurable variables and controlled studies, which may have debatable relevance to the concerns of real-life clients, who are very much influenced by context and who may have multiple concerns and be vulnerable to a variety of life events during the course of their therapy. Laboratory studies, carried out in an environment isolated from this real-world context, frequently fail to measure such variables as mood, sleep, and social interaction. Training programs, unfortunately, increasingly value and rely on these research results in their course materials, supervision, examinations, and other evaluations of students’ competencies.
