BookPublisher: The Indian Journal of Social Work Description: 83(2), Apr, 2022: p.229-250.Subject(s): LGBT therapy, Trans affirmative care, Decolonising psychology, Liberation psychology, Queer theory, Queering therapy, Tranfeminism

The Indian Journal of Social WorkSummary: The therapy room does not exist in a socio-political vacuum but rather in a world that is often oppressive and marginalises some people more than others. Liberation Psychology by Martín and Baró (1994) aims to understand the historical oppression of trauma and its effects on certain communities and the decolonising therapy movement believes that true liberation can come from critiquing the white supremacist ideas that are currently considered the norm in therapy practice. Using this lens, we will be critiquing attachment styles, boundaries and transference through queer theory, trans feminism and the decolonising therapy movement. To do this, the authors anchor their work with their trans clients in a way that questions these normative ideas and the supposed good intentions behind them. – Reproduced
