Undergoing breast cancer surgery has a significant and profound impact on women's physical and mental health, as well as their work and daily lives. Women after breast cancer surgery often experience low psychological resilience. Feminist therapy emphasizes the influence of social and cultural factors on women and employs key techniques such as gender role analysis, power analysis, confidence training, self-disclosure, reconstruction and redefinition, bibliotherapy, and cultural analysis. These methods help individuals recognize the societal impact on gender roles, explore their inherent positive potential, and enhance their psychological resilience. In this study, feminist therapy was applied in a case intervention for a postoperative breast cancer patient, aiming to empower the client, improve her quality of life, and explore effective feminist therapy intervention methods tailored for this population. Additionally, this study seeks to contribute more case examples and experiential insights for the application of feminist therapy theory in China.
