SYNOPSIS: Pam is a woman who cares about women. In Self Assertion for Women: A Guide to Becoming Androgynous, she shows you how to assert yourself without being aggressive, how to become "equalized" without being defeminized, and how to express yourself fully and openly without fearing ridicule or guilt. The answer lies in recognizing and developing your positive qualities as a full, androgynous person. Through case studies, dialogues and exercises, Pam shares her powerful yet gentle insights to help you realize your importance as a unique individual. Dr. Pamela Butler is a clinical psychologist with the Behavior Therapy Institute in Sausalito, California. As a behavior therapist, she works with people both individually and in groups. She also follows a busy schedule of presenting lectures and workshops on self-assertion to colleges, state agencies, city governments, professional groups, and corporations. Dr. Butler earned her Ph.D. at the University of Alabama and completed her postdoctoral work at the University of California, Berkeley. She developed a particular interest in assertive training for women as a result of her own transition from the academic to the professional world. "I was confident of my professional skills, but I had grown up with all the traditional images of how a woman should function in society: be well mannered, ladylike, and protected, never express negative feelings or present yourself as competent. I saw other women caught in the same bind. My programs emerged from an intense personal involvement with the plight of women today." Dr. Butler is also the founder of Women for Wildlife, an organization involved with raising the public consciousness about the inhumane practice of trapping and killing animals for their furs. She lives in Marin County, near San Francisco, with her husband, Dr. Alan Salamy, who also has a Ph.D. in psychology. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
