1. A lens for viewing self-policing -- 2. Gender and self-policing -- 3. Challenging negative identity practices - narrative therapy -- 4. Immanent critiques : expanded possibilities for refusing self-policing -- 5. An ethics of care for the self -- 6. Foucault and therapy - a contradiction?

Review: "Employing Foucault's notion of panoptical power, Helen O'Grady illuminates the link between self-policing and the broader mechanisms of social control, arguing that these negative practices prevent women from enjoying a satisfying and affirming relationship with themselves." "This contribution to feminist debates about gender and the self will be of interest to students and researchers in social psychology, feminist psychology, mental health studies and gender studies, and to practitioners in psychological therapies and counselling psychology."--BOOK JACKET.
