The purpose of this intervention is to raise a client’s awareness of the ways access to power and resources can vary according to gender and identity and to explore how the client’s own reality is affected by this circumstance. Facilitating a client’s identification of the power differentials that influence her goals, lived experience, and well-being provides the opportunity for her to develop plans for overcoming and maneuvering around these obstacles. This intervention is similar to the gender role analysis, but it moves beyond gender to include multiple factors that determine to whom and under what circumstances power is conferred.
