ABSTRACT

My theme may be a bit less heated than that of some of my fellow authors addressing the topic of politics in the consulting room. Since my practice likely self-selects for folks with political views similar to my own, I can count the number of other than Progressive-identified folks with whom I’ve worked on one hand. Politics do come up, but rarely is there much contention. For me, the first thing that came to mind when asked to think about the topic of politics in the consulting room was feminism and the politics of gender performance. Let me explain.
