Feminist therapy theorists have made significant contributions to enhancing counselors' understanding of how social, economic, political, and institutional factors affect women's lives and the particular problems that women bring to counseling. Two of the central tenets of feminist therapy theory are the concept of an integrated analysis of oppression and the notion that the personal is political. The personal is political principle encourages counselors to attend to the external/sociocultural factors, such as heterosexism and sexism, that contribute to lesbians' psychological distress, as well as the ways that lesbian clients may have internalized negative and limiting heterosexist and sexist attitudes (Brown, 1994; Enns, 1997; Worell & Remer, 2003). The principle of an integrated analysis of oppression encourages counselors to help lesbian clients identify and explore how diverse sources of oppression in their lives interact and contribute to their current difficulties (Brown, 1994; Worell & Remer, 2003). The purpose of this study is to examine the complex roles of heterosexism and sexism within the lives of lesbians.
