ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the experiences of girls and women, offering an investigative opportunity for all of us as we ponder the possibilities of interdisciplinary treatment for our clients, one that encompasses an interrelation of the Model of Self with the practice of educational therapy and art therapy. It discusses the three case studies which are based on reflections and perceptions of the work as an educational therapist (ET) with girls and women who have been disenfranchised, left with inadequate skills and education, yearning for a sense of belonging in today's very challenging world. The girls at St Katherine's and other like-minded educational settings around the globe were disenfranchised at birth, having to live by the rules and guidelines imposed by societal authorities. The interdisciplinary aspect of subtitle points to range of tasks and situations ETs can address with girls and women and then continue for however long it takes our students and clients to reach a level of secure self-actualization.
