The feminist therapy view of the DSM-IV is focused on the formation of the diagnosis and intended use. I found it interesting that feminist therapy view the DSM statistics are harmful to women and the statistics causes social oppression. For example, depression is diagnosis more often to women than men (Corey, 2013). Feminist therapy believe that women have more reasons to experience depression because of social oppression. Since women have less opportunity career options and financial security, society has set up a system where women experience depression more often. By stating women experience more depression, the statistics form a stereotype that depression is a normative experience for women (Corey, 2013). Another example is eating disorder
