title: Don't be a sheep: how this eldest daughter became a feminist therapist.
abstract: This article describes what I consider to be important influences on the development of my career as a psychotherapist. I explore familial effects, the influences of culture and of individual role models, and the impact of the women's movement on my career. I also examine the role that a contrarian, "outside" stance has played in the selection of my career and theoretical orientation.
