Description

Description:

The immense changes brought about by the women’s movement and the sex role revolution in the last 25 years have opened up new opportunities and problems—sources of conflict and new strengths for women, men, and families.

 

There is now a challenge for psychotherapists to break through their own remnant stereotypes of feminine mystique, masculine mystique, and obsolete assumptions about family in order to distinguish between personal and political pathology and assist evolving women, men, and families in discovering and using their new strengths more consciously, as well as confronting real problems realistically.

Betty Friedan (February 4, 1921 – February 4, 2006) was a writer, activist, and feminist from the United States. Her book The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963, is widely regarded as the catalyst for the second wave of American feminism in the twentieth century. Friedan co-founded and became the first president of the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966, with the goal of bringing women “into the mainstream of American society now [in] totally equal partnership with men.”

Friedan, regarded in the United States as an outstanding author and philosopher, remained engaged in politics and lobbying until the late 1990s, producing six books. Friedan was critical of divided and extremist elements of feminism that attacked groups such as males and homemakers as early as the 1960s. The Second Stage (1981), one of her later writings, criticized what Friedan perceived as the radical excesses of certain feminists.
