The age of the cookie cutter has passed
Description
Filled with frankness, pathos, and humor, Dr. Espin describes her life as an immigrant, a Person of Color, a Latina, a woman, a lesbian, and as a religious person in psychology. My own personal experiences have been shaped by the transgression of borders. The issue has been to find room for my multiple selves. Creating a new psychotherapy with and for oppressed people is our life's work. Psychological theories that focus on the person rather than the social context are still used to gloss over the impact of societal power structures on the individual.
