Womanism Against Socially Constructed Matriarchal Images: A Theoretical Model Toward a Therapeutic Goal

by Markeva Gwendolyn Hill

This book stems from a concern to assist pastoral counsellors in developing a therapeutic alliance with African-American women. It focuses on the social construct of the African-American matriarch, which can easily misinform the counsellor and cause emotional jeopardy for African-American women who attempt to live up to its expectations.
