The The Invisible Web by Marianne Walters

Bringing new focus to the subject, THE INVISIBLE WEB investigates the family from a feminist perspective. Using the lens of gender, connections between mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, and husbands and wives are analyzed and given new meaning. The authors evaluate and redefine family transitions such as divorce, single-parent and female-headed households, and remarried couples who are attempting to integrate their respective children with ex-spouses and complicated networks of extended kin. They also reexamine traditional and emerging roles for women in their early, middle, and later years. Written in an engaging format, each chapter features an in depth analysis of how gender shapes the relationship in question. This discussion is followed by fascinating vignettes of actual cases from each of the four authors, whose approaches reflect different orientations to therapy.
 

I adopted THE INVISIBLE WEB last semester for my Women's Studies course on psychology of women, and found it to be a perfect teaching textIt offers the best combination of family systems thinking and feminist issues that I have seen, and, perhaps most important, my students loved it! The case studies are immediately engaging and the issues they bring to life help to initiate productive class discussion. I intend to use it again and recommend it highly to other Women's Studies professors. --Naomi Rosenthal, Ph.D., SUNY at Old Westbury

Like a country quilt, THE INVISIBLE WEB pulls together the living thought and practice of four leading women in the family therapy field, as they apply a feminist lens to their own treatment methods. This is not only a major event, but a unique one...'' --Lynn Hoffman, M.S.W.

INVISIBLE WEB, by the leading foremothers in the field of family therapy, is on my most highly recommended short list of readings in my family and couples therapy courses. Sparkling with clinical insights and case illustrations on gender dilemmas in relationships, it is always a favorite of students, men and women alike. --Froma Walsh, Ph.D., Professor, School of Social Service Administration and Department of Psychiatry, The University of Chicago & Co-Director, Chicago Center for Family Health
- Everyone must read this book. It has already revolutionized family therapy. --Contemporary Psychology, 12/3/1991
