摘要

It is necessary to propose alternative models to traditional therapy, which has frequently relegated women’s distress to an individual level, isolating it from social and environmental factors and masking the structural imbalances of society. A fundamental aspect of the feminist approach to the therapist–patient relationship is understanding of intersectionality. This concept involves recognizing how a person’s multiple identities—such as gender, social class, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and more— interact to create distinct experiences of oppression or privilege. This recognition is crucial for addressing the needs of women who face multiple forms of discrimination, and it requires sensitivity to the diverse forms of suffering and resilience that patients experience, shaped by their complex social and political contexts, This model seeks to co-construct a therapeutic space that is containing and non-judgmental, validating patients’ experiences while recognizing the importance of structural determinants and promoting individuals’ own resources within a capacity-based relationship.
