| Summary |
"This book explores the healing use of exercise and sport as a helpful adjunct to therapy from several therapeutic orientations within the feminist context - psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, constructivist, and organismic/systems therapy. With case studies and treatment models, it explores the benefits of integrating physical activity, exercise, and sport into therapy. You'll learn how physical activity can be used to help women suffering with chronic mental illness, breast cancer, fibromyalgia, and much more!"--BOOK JACKET |
