Perceptions Of The Feminine Role And Some Related Problems In Counseling Girls, Lanorjane G. Pauline

Graduate Student Research Papers

Our culture presents many barriers that prevent women from using their intellect for the greatest good. As counselors, we need to begin freeing ourselves from the limits of narrow and inappropriately differentiated masculine and feminine roles. An awareness of the reasons for and the extent of these prejudices will help to understand ourselves and thus the people with whom we work.
