This collection of readings is designed to clarify the relationship
between social structures and psychological processes. Our
awareness of the need for such a book derives from our extensive
experiences in teaching a for mal course for mental health
professionals on gender and psychother apy. The material in this
anthology emphasizes the clinical implications of the new research
and knowledge that has changed our understanding of the
psychological development of women and men. Throughout the book, we
present ideas that challenge conventional explanations of psy
chological distress in women and men and suggest alternative concep
tualizations of these processes. As will be evident, our work is
informed by and contributes to the growing field of knowledge
produced by feminist scholars over the last decade. That this book
on gender has more to say about women reflects the existence of a
substantial body of research that reconceptualizes women's
psychology. The corresponding research on men is still in its
formative stages, due in part to the later development of a men's
move ment. Although many of the chapters focus on women, we have
attempted in our discussion to consider the implications for men.
We believe that the fundamental processes explored in this book are
relevant to the understanding of both women and men."
