In this text, we reflect on the gender bias in family therapy and its implications for the process of health-disease, diagnosis and treatment of men and women; and we highlight the double blindness with respect to the prevailing gender in the discipline: not only we don't know, but we don't know that we don't know. We advocate for the development of a gender-sensitive critical family therapy in the education of psychotherapists, which implies updating our theories and practices in the light of gender, to facilitate a more respectful, equitable, inclusive and effective care. Finally, we propose a few guidelines for this gender-sensitive critical family therapy and briefly discuss the notion of circularity.Downloads
