The authors describe conflicts experienced by women who request
therapeutic intervention because of symptoms of depression, anxiety,
marital discord, difficulty in asserting themselves, or inability to
complete work that would lead to advancement. They discuss the
developmentally based difficulties experienced by women in making career
choices, advancing their careers, and facing midlife issues. The therapist
who deals with such patients must be aware of reality-based factors and of
his or her own values and attitudes as they influence choice of therapeutic
approach.
