ABSTRACT
Queer women couples are a richly diverse group who challenge many of the dominant notions about couples therapy. Impacted by multiple systems of oppression and marginalization, queer women couples have unique ways of forming and maintaining relationships. This chapter explores specific challenges and strengths these couples experience, reviews the literature to date on queer women couples, and presents strategies for working with them in therapy using a multiracial feminist approach. This chapter provides a case study using a multiracial feminist therapy approach for work with queer women couples that is informed by the authors’ experiences as couples therapists committed to utilizing an intersectional feminist lens in couples therapy.
