Opis

Working Relationally with Girls: Complex Lives, Complex Identities examines the experience of being a girl in today's society and the difficulties social work practitioners face in developing a universal theory that represents that experience. This unique book analyzes how--and why--gender is still a complicated barrier for most girls, despite living in "post-feminist" times. Working from a variety of orientations, the book offers practical suggestions on how to help girls deal with interpersonal tensions, interpersonal conflicts, relational dilemmas, and the difficulties that stem from rules and norms of what is still a male-dominated society.
