The present document constitutes a critical reflection on general presupposals of feminist methodologies applied in psychological practices, more specifically in therapeutical contexts. A brief reference is made to the historical frame under which Feminist Psychology emerged as well as to the principles that based the development of new and innovative therapeutical practices for women in a feminist intervention approach. By advocating the principle of women's emancipation, totally contrary to the patriarchal regime, feminist psychologists take upon their option for the non-neutrality of psychological science and their practices, thus politicizing therapeutical spaces where they act. This decision making is particularly significant in violent situations, since it makes it possible the victims be acknowledged in their personal experiences.
