Abstract This article offers a perspective and an application of transnational feminist therapy with Latinas that affirm the value of testimonio as a theoretical framework. Political, social, and interpersonal levels are addressed and linked to clear roots in oral tradition and resistance movements. The goal is to share a clinical approach that applies the tenets of transnational feminism that differ from the definition of “global sisterhood” and recognizes the effects of interactive connections that apply to different levels of identity, adaptation, and wellbeing of Latinas living in the United States. Clinical vignettes shared by many Latinas living in the United States and at different points in their life cycles illustrate the relevance and negative effects caused by the intersectional components of gender, class, ethnicity, race, nation, age, and language that can lead to feelings of shame connected to societal rejections on the basis of being “the other.” An application of theory in the flesh illustrates the need to move from talking in a disembodied manner to an embodied conversation during the therapy process.

Abstract The various types of feminisms around the world have implications for the way oppression is defined and what can be done to resist it. This article explores common dilemmas within transnational feminism regarding the policing of women’s bodies, particularly as it affects Muslim women from the global South. This can be an especially important issue in therapy for global Southern women who reside in global Northern countries. This article addresses power dynamics between therapists and clients, given the inherent power differentials in their relationship, as well as the broader sociocultural and historical power differences amongst Southern and Northern women.

Abstract A transnational feminism framework, which aims to reshape the politics surrounding ideologies of feminism by decentering White Women as the model of womanhood, is used to explicitly center the role of gendered-racism in the lives of Latinas and how they have survived their subjugation throughout history. A transnational treatment approach titled, Intersectionality Awakening Model of Womanista (I AM Womanista) is presented to assist psychotherapists working with Latinas to deliver interventions rooted in a gendered-racial-culturally responsive praxis. Overall, the I AM Womanista framework aims to disrupt the dominant feminist ethos by honoring the collective narratives of Indigenous and Black Latina women who actively resisted and survived attacks on their humanity from the pre-colonial period to the present. Practical clinical guidance is offered.
摘要一个跨国女权主义框架旨在通过将白人女性作为女性的典范来重塑围绕女权主义意识形态的政治，该框架被用来明确强调性别种族主义在拉丁裔生活中的作用，以及他们在整个历史上是如何在征服中幸存下来的。提出了一种名为“女性跨部门觉醒模式”（I AM Womanista）的跨国治疗方法，以帮助与拉丁裔合作的心理治疗师提供植根于性别化种族文化反应实践的干预措施。总的来说，“我是女性”框架旨在通过尊重土著和拉丁裔黑人女性的集体叙事来打破占主导地位的女权主义精神，这些女性从前殖民时期到现在都积极抵抗并幸存下来。提供实用的临床指导。

Abstract Three African-descended psychologists discuss the case of a psychotherapy dyad in which the first author, a U.S. national, and a Caribbean student who had immigrated to the U.S. served respectively as therapist and client. We discuss the relevance of Helms’ racial identity development theory to the cultivation of psychological health among African-descended women, proposing that this form of health is intimately tied to our association with other African-descended people. With particular focus on the client’s disclosures about certain groups of Black people in stereotypical ways, what we term “othering by the other,” we offer a conceptualization that knits together issues of personal vulnerability, the reproduction of structural violence, and racial identity development. We conclude by presenting our views on the process and outcome of the therapeutic case and the significance of the theory to addressing the violence that continues to disrupt the lives of Black men and women around the world.

Abstract This article introduces central features of transnational feminism and discusses how these characteristics provide a foundation for transnational feminist practice in psychology. These core themes emphasize: (a) reflexivity and positionality; (b) intersectionality in transnational perspective; (c) inclusive definitions of global and transnational feminisms; (d) transnational border-crossing practices; (e) agency and resistance in global perspective; (f) decolonization of theory, knowledge, and practice; (g) egalitarian collaboration and alliance building; and (h) theories and practices that support critical consciousness and social change. Examples of how these features are highlighted by this special issue’s authors are integrated with summaries of themes.

Abstract This article applies methods of collaborative autoethnography and participatory education dialogues to explore our evolving “trans” national/disciplinary cultural practice with immigrant women and girls. Drawing from Latinx and Chicanx scholar/activist explorations of healing centered on indigenous and Afrodiasporic worldviews, we reflect on our continuing learning in the aftermath of the massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement workplace raid targeting indigenous immigrant women (New Bedford 2007). We initiated a continued deepening toward cultural practice grounded in transnational women of color social movements. We explore practices enhancing connections between therapy and social justice advocacy, applying transnational feminist and multi-systemic ecological models linking personal and social change. We focus on educational settings as especially favorable in transforming gendered developmental pathways toward bienestar/wellness as fairness. Finally, we recommend critical/participatory methods of reflexivity, autoethnography, dialogue-promoting learning, healing, and empowered social action.

Abstract This article summarizes the contributions of authors to a special issue on transnational feminist practice and integrates their recommendations. The three-part outline for organizing transnational feminist practice themes focuses on self-awareness and cultural humility, knowledge foundations, and interventions and skills. This article also summarizes case material that illustrates the basic guidance of authors who work in many types of educational and practice settings, offers insights relevant to many world regions, and portrays the diversity of worldviews and values that need to be considered in contemporary transnational feminist practice.

Abstract The Caribbean region represents a mosaic of cultures and languages, bound by a common experience of colonization, and marked by distinct histories of freedom and independence. Throughout the various countries that comprise the region, the role and importance of women is clearly recognized, highlighted, and demonstrated. Gender issues and feminist ideals have been and continue to be an area of discourse in all disciplines, including psychology. In this article, we provide an overview of the Caribbean region in order to contextualize the information presented. Next, we highlight three different countries in the region, US Virgin Islands, Haiti, and Guyana, to showcase the characteristics and experiences (i.e., gender role and gender socialization) of women in these respective countries, as well representations of feminist ideals. Lastly, we highlight the integration of Caribbean cultural backgrounds, social/political contexts, and feminist ideals in psychotherapeutic interventions with women in the region with specific recommendations for psychotherapy treatment process and outcomes.

Abstract Psychology of women, feminist psychology, and therapy with women have been primarily connected to dominant Western methodologies and practices of the Global North. The history of misogynistic and patriarchal methods in Western psychology is often limited to critiques of psychoanalysis, even though international and multicultural critical perspectives continue to draw primarily on psychoanalytic theoretical and clinical modalities. The history of colonization, eugenics, and imperialism are routinely minimized or denied in accounts of psychologies of the Global North, while indigenous and non-Western and Global South traditions are fetishized and appropriated without critical analysis. The dangers of colonization of global impact, especially on psychologies not associated with industrialized worlds of the Global North, are noted in relation to dominant psychology’s insistence on neutral experimental research, reduction of human experiences to biology and animal behavior, the privileging of methods of thought and behavior control, and ethnocentric assumptions about the superiority of Western contributions of the Global North. Possibilities of critical and liberatory practices in relation to the practice of psychology with women with connections to global non-Western cultures are explored. This article concludes with a personal narrative about the dangers and limitations of the uncritical export of dominant psychologies of the Global North.

Abstract Drawing from a larger study of non fatal suicidal behavior in Sri Lanka, we examine the narratives of two young women and their mothers following the daughter’s suicide-like act. These accounts offer insights into how the moral person is constructed in Sri Lanka and, particularly, what it means to be a good daughter and a good woman in Sri Lanka. We reflect on the implications that radically different conceptions of the self and personhood have for construing mental health and wellbeing outside a Western psychological framework. We also examine briefly how such conceptions of self and personhood have shaped feminisms in different locales.
