The document discusses the key principles and practices of feminist therapy. It outlines that feminist therapy views personal issues in a political and social context, aims for both individual and social change, and values women's experiences. The therapeutic relationship is egalitarian and focuses on empowering clients. Feminist therapists use techniques like gender role analysis, power analysis, and bibliotherapy to help clients understand social influences and increase their personal power.

Research Paper Outline: The Asian Muslim Culture
Name
University
1. Introduction
Culture is observable from a multifaceted approach in the form beliefs, art, morals, law, and customs. In the Asian continent, the Muslim culture has not been given as much focus as Muslims in the Middle East. The focus of this paper is to provide an outline for a research paper on Asian Muslims, a brief annotated bibliography that presents information on culture and practices, a reflection of what has been learned, and what I expect to learn by the end of the research paper.
2. Body Outline
a) The body of the research paper will detail a literature review that examines what other authors have published on the subject.
b) It will also have methodological procedures that entail data collection using existing documents and records.
c) The research paper will provide findings, conclusions, and discussion sections.
d) It will contain the implications of the culture's practices on parties that directly involve with the culture.
3. Annotated Bibliography
Jegatheesan, B., Miller, P. J., & Fowler, S. A. (2010). Autism from a religious perspective: A study of parental beliefs in South Asian Muslim immigrant families. Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities.
The authors of this study provide a focus on Asian Muslims who have children who have Autism. They then interview South Asian Muslims with the aim of ascertaining their beliefs on autism. The methods used for the study were the collection of interviews and conversations that were recorded during an excursion that took a period of 17 months. The results indicated that Asian Muslim families understood that taking care of children with autism had to take place in Muslim terms. The families also contested the understanding provided by experts on the ailment. They believed that the approach presented by experts destabilized rather than supported their children's development. The findings provide insinuations of Muslims perceptions on the contemporary and conventional use of empirical results in the treatment of ailments.

The author of the study explores the fit of intersectionality framework when seeking to understand transnational lives. The data used in the survey was obtained from the author’s exploration on South Asian migrant families as well as their youngsters to the United States. The study primarily focuses on highly educated migrants who have intent on maintaining useful family ties. The researcher uses the information to ascertain if the intersectionality methodology can provide an explanation of life that span between actual and hypothetical social worlds. The research concludes b ...
Gender Sensitization refers to theories which claim that modification of the behavior of teachers and parents (etc.) towards children can have a causal effect on gender equality.

Selected Article
The article that I’ve selected in relation to the topic of women in society it titled, “The Role of Women in Society: from Preindustrial to Modern Times.” The article discussed the role of the women in agriculture and distinguished based upon ethnicity. During the preindustrial period, majority of the agriculture work was done by women, although dominated by men. The article centered the women’s role based upon different cultures and marital status. Once the plough was invented, women’s input dwindled or ceased. In modern times, countries with a tradition of plough use, women are less likely to participate in the labor market, are less likely to own firms, and are less likely to participate in national politics.
Feminist Theory
The feminist theory I selected is liberal feminism. According to Robbins, S. P., Chatterjee, P., & Canda, E. R. (2012) liberal feminism refers to women being basically the same as men and therefore should have equal rights to men. The focus of the theory is for women’s rights to control their own bodies through sexual education and contraception, in relation to abortion rights. This theory relates to social work practice due to the profession being majority women. Due to being a woman dominated field, it shows that women can be in a leadership position as a man could. This feminist theory hasn’t really influenced my understanding of women’s role in society, but rather confirmed my thought process. Often times we hear how men make more money than men, although they can do the same job and this theory opposes that.
The Bradley Case
The Bradley case better references radical feminism rather than my choice of liberal. Radical feminism focuses on issues of violence against women, including sexual harassment, rape, battering, and prostitution.
My views of women’s roles inform my next steps with Tiffani due to teaching/assisting her with the liberal theory. The case ended with Tiffani overcoming her urge to see Donald, attaining her GED and planning to attend college. Due to such improvement, I would continue to uplift Tiffani and encourage her to be the best she could be. Continue with college and obtain a degree in the study that interests her. Even finding part-time employment while attending college to keep her occupied.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024
Guidance feminist.
1. She made important
contributions toward
expanding this theory and
exploring new applications
to complex issues in
psychotherapy and beyond,
including issues of diversity,
social action, and workplace
change.
2. She made an efforts directed
toward articulating the
importance of multicultural
feminist therapy, exploring
the practice of feminist
therapy around the world
(especially in Japan), and
writing about multicultural
feminist pedagogies.
3. She is a pioneer in the theory
and practice of feminist
therapy with women from
different cultural
backgrounds and has done
extensive research, teaching,
and training on multicultural
issues in psychology.
4. Founding member of the
Feminist Therapy Institute,
an organization dedicated to
the support of advanced
practice in feminist therapy,
and a member of the theory
workgroup at the National
Conference on Education
and Training in Feminist
Practice.
5. Feminist therapy puts gender and power at the
core of the therapeutic process. Feminist therapy
is built on the premise that it is essential to
consider the social, cultural, and political context
that contributes to a person’s problems in order
to understand that person.
A central concept in feminist therapy is the
importance of understanding and acknowledging
the psychological oppression of women and the
constraints imposed by the sociopolitical status
to which women have been relegated.
6. Feminist therapy has developed in a grassroots
manner, responding to challenges and to the
emerging needs of women.
Feminist therapy can be traced to the women’s
movement of the 1960’s, a time when women began
uniting their voices to express their dissatisfaction
with the limiting and confining nature of traditional
female roles.
A profusion of research on gender bias emerged in
the 1970’s, which helped further feminist therapy
ideas, and organizations began to foster the
development of feminist therapy.
Association for Women in Psychology (AWP)
American Psychological Association (APA)
7. Four Enduring Feminist Philosophies
(Described as the second wave of feminism)
Liberal feminists focus on helping individual
women overcome the limits and constraints of
their socialization patterns.
Cultural feminists believe oppression stems
from society’s devaluation of women’s
strengths.
Radical feminists focus on the oppression of
women that is embedded in patriarchy and
seek to change society through activism.
Socialist feminists share with radical
feminists the goal of societal change.
8. (Third Wave) women of color, lesbians, and the
postmodern and constructivist viewpoints .
Postmodern feminists provide a model for
critiquing the value of other traditional and
feminist approaches, addressing the issue of
what constitutes reality and proposing multiple
truths as opposed to a single truth.
Women of color feminists believe it is essential
that feminist theory be broadened and made
more inclusive.
Lesbian feminists share commonalities with many
aspects of radical feminism.
Global-international feminists take a worldwide
perspective and seek to understand the ways in
which racism, sexism, economics, and classism
affect women in different countries.
9. Characteristics of traditional theories :
Androcentric theory -uses male orientated
constructs to draw conclusions about human
nature.
Gendercentric theories -propose two separate
paths of development for women and men.
Heterosexist theories -view a heterosexual
orientation as normative and desirable and
devalue same-sex relationships.
10. Determinismtic-assumes that present
personality patterns and behavior are fixed at
an early stage of development.
Intrapsychic orientation -attributes behavior to
intrapsychic causes, which often results in
blaming the victim.
11. Worell and Remer describe the construct of
Feminist theory as being:
Gender-fair theories- explain differences in
the behavior of women and men in terms of
socialization processes rather than on the
basis of our “true” natures.
Flexible-multicultural theory-uses concepts
and strategies that apply equally to both
individuals and groups regardless of age,
race, culture, gender, ability, class, or sexual
orientation.
12. Interactionist theories-contain concepts
sepcific to the thinking, feeling, and behaving
dimensions of human experience and account
for contextual and environmental factors.
Life-span perspective- assumes that human
development is a lifelong process and that
personality patterns and behavioral changes
can occur at any time rather than being fixed
during early childhood.
13. Feminist therapists emphasize that societal
gender-role expectations profoundly
influence a person’s identity from the
moment of birth and become deeply
ingrained in adult personality.
Girls play with dolls, boys play with trucks.
Boys model the aggressive, power-seeking
nature of adult males and thus reduce their
capacity for the expression of empathy and
certain emotions.
14. 1.The personal is political- personal or
individual problems that individuals
bring to counseling in a political and
social context.
2.Commitment to social change- aims not
only for individual change but for
social change.
15. 3. Women’s and girl’s voices and ways of
knowing are valued and their experiences are
honored.
4. The counseling relationship is egalitarian.
5. A focus on strengths and a formulated
definition of psychological distress.
6. All types of oppression are recognized.
16. 5 goals for feminist therapy have been
proposed-equality, balancing independence
and interdependence, empowerment, self-
nurturance, and valuing diversity.
The ultimate goal of feminist therapy is to
create the kind of society where sexism and
other forms of discrimination and oppression
are no longer a reality. The therapist strives
for transformation, for both the client and
society as a whole.
17. Individual level: is to help women and men
recognize, claim, and embrace their personal
power. Through the empowerment, clients are
able to free themselves from the constraints of
their gender-role socialization and to
challenge ongoing institutional oppression.
Feminist therapists help clients to
depathologize women’s experiencing and to
change society so that women’s voices are
honored and women’s relational qualities are
valued.
18. Therapists use gender and power analyses to
understand clients and their concerns, and
they are committed to monitoring their own
biases and distortions, especially the social
and cultural dimensions of women’s
experiences.
Feminists share common ground with
existential therapists who emphasize therapy
as a shared journey.
19. Also share beliefs with person-centered
therapists such as trusting the client’s ability
to move forward in a positive and
constructive manner.
Also believe the process should be
nonhierarchical, person-to-person
relationship, and aim to empower clients to
live according to their own values and to rely
on an internal locus of control in determining
what is right for them.
20. Clients are active participants in the
therapeutic process.
Therapists are committed to ensuring that this
doesn’t become another arena in which
women remain passive and dependent. It is
important to give voice to their experiencing.
Clients realize they are really understood,
they begin to get in tough with a range of
feelings including anger, and other
“prohibited” emotions that they may have
learned to deny themselves.
21. The therapeutic relationship is a
partnership, and the client will be the
expert in determining what he needs
and wants from therapy.
Major goal: is empowerment, which
requires a sense of self-acceptance, self-
confidence, joy and authenticity.
22. First: are acutely sensitive to ways they might
abuse their own power in the relationship,
such as by diagnosing unnecessarily, by
interpreting or giving advice, by staying aloof
behind and “expert” role, or by discounting
the impact the power imbalance between
therapist and client has on the relationship.
Second: therapists actively focus on the power
clients have in the therapeutic relationship.
Third: feminist therapists work to demystify
the counseling relationship
23. Many feminist therapists do not use
diagnostic labels, or they use them
reluctantly.
Feminist therapists believe diagnostic labels
are severely limiting for these reasons:
They focus on the individual’s symptoms
and not the social factors that cause
dysfunctional behavior.
May represent an instrument of oppression.
24. They may reinforce gender-role stereotypes
and encourage adjustment to the norms of
status quo.
May reflect the inappropriate application of
power in the therapeutic relationship.
Can lead to an overemphasis on individual
solutions rather than social change.
Have the potential to reduce one’s respect
for clients.
25. Empowerment: getting the most from each
session, clear expectations, identifying goals,
and working toward a contract that will guide
the process.
Self-disclosure: is not just sharing information
and experiences. Also involves a certain
quality of presence the therapist brings to the
sessions.
26. Gender:role Analysis: explores the impact of
expectations on the client’s well being or
distress and draws upon this information to
make decision about future gender-role
behaviors.
Gender-role Intervention: placing it in context
of society’s role expectations for women. The
aim is to provide insight into the ways that
social issues are affecting the problem.
27. Power Analysis and Power Intervention:
becoming aware of the power difference
between men and women in society and
empowering to take charge of ones self and
life. Also includes recognizing different kinds
of power that clients possess or to which they
have access.
Bibliotherapy: Books that address the
consequences of society’s obsession with
certain issues. Can explore and enhance
therapy by reactions to what they are reading.
28. Assertiveness Training: Become aware of their
interpersonal rights, transcend stereotypical
gender roles, change negative beliefs, and
implement changes in their daily lives.
Reframing and Relabeling: Reframing implies
a shift from “blaming the victim” to a
consideration of social factors in the
environment that contribute to a client’s
problem. Relabeling is an intervention that
changes the label or evaluation applied to
some behavioral characteristic.
29. Work: Group work alone is often the
preferred modality for some issues that
women experience in out culture. Self help
groups and advocacy groups help women
experience their connectedness and unity
with other women.
Social Action: Participation in activities can
empower clients and help them see the link
between their personal experiences and the
socio-political context in which they live.
30. Men can be nonsexist therapists
Men can be pro-feminist therapists when
they embrace the principles and
incorporate the practices of feminism in
their work. This entails being willing to
confront sexist behavior in themselves and
others, redefining masculinity and
femininity according to other than
traditional values, working toward
establishing egalitarian relationships, and
actively supporting women’s efforts to
create a just society.
31. Feminist therapists suggest that
multicultural counseling refers to the
analysis of social structures affecting
mental health, including sexism, racism,
and other levels of both oppression and
privilege.
The use of power in relationships has
application for understanding power
inequities due to racial and cultural
factors.
32. The therapists job is not to take away any of
the pain or struggle, nor to choose for the
client, but to be present in such a way that the
client will truly be empowered to decide for
him/herself.
The core value of equality in feminist therapy
may limit the effectiveness of the therapist in
working with clients from culturally
different backgrounds.
