Description
Description:
Our present ideals of heroism are dominated by unrealistic and larger-than-life stereotypes. Not only has this narrow view eliminated much of the heroism of women, it has also provided men with simplistic solutions that are not only outmoded, but intimidating. Ultimately, it has deprived both sexes of a wide range of heroic examples and choices that could enrich their lives and the lives of those around them. This paper proposes a redefinition of heroism that expands traditional images and suggests that recognizing the unhackneyed heroism that occurs in ordinary circumstances may also enrich therapeutic possibilities.
Educational Objectives:
- To review the influences that have limited our image of women’s heroism
- To define an image of heroism that is relevant to women and men of today – and tomorrow
- To illustrate how the concept of heroism applies to psychotherapy
