"This is a unique and groundbreaking gender-responsive, gender-inclusive, and trauma-informed curriculum designed specifically for female-identified participants. Building upon almost three decades of work by Dan Griffin including his groundbreaking books A Mans Way Through Relationships, A Mans Way through the Twelve Steps, and his pioneering treatment programs Healing Mens Pain (co-authored with Jonathan DeCarlo), Amazing Dads (co-authored with Harrison Crawford), and Helping Men Recover (co-authored with Dr. Stephanie Covington and Rick Dauer and was based upon his masters research and Dr. Covingtons seminal work with women), this curriculum addresses the complex intersection of female socialization, also known as the Woman Rules, with the tenets of therapy and the process of healing; childhood, adolescent and adult trauma; and relational struggles, particularly issues of healthy attachment, that female-identified participants often find themselves experiencing. With over a decades experience of providing direct services to women and other marginalized clients, Dr. Murphy brings a specific focus exploring colonization, the impact of politics and historical oppression, and a systemic perspective regarding trauma and healing. The primary goal of this curriculum is to help participants create a vision of the women they want to be and to provide them with the awareness, tools, and confidence to achieve that vision"-- Provided by publisher.
