Detailing the field of feminist psychology since its origins, this
book assesses its early figures, theory, and research as well as
current and emerging theory and research and its associations with
general feminist beliefs. Feminist psychology developed as a
reaction to historical psychological thought, initiated by men who
controlled the theory and research of the field. By holding all of
society to "norms" based in male behavior, this so-called masculine
psychology effectively assigned women lower societal status than
men and had disturbing effects on women's health and self-esteem.
Feminist Psychology focuses on gender differences, social
structure, and the values and principles of women's rights within
the world's individual, social, and political spheres. Contrary to
popular notion, feminist psychology does not involve man-hating,
but instead focuses on loving the concept that women have equal
potential to set and achieve goals and to contribute to society. In
this volume, psychologist Vera Maass explains the history, theory,
research, and current state of this growing field, becoming
increasingly popular as colleges offer majors or concentrations in
feminist psychology, and argues that women are both different from
and equal to men. Assesses the behaviors, mental disorders, and
mental health problems that may arise when studies are conducted on
men alone Elucidates the errors, injustices, and consequences of
gender bias Illustrates concepts through case studies Notes
criticisms from the field's detractors to present an objective and
fair view Includes a glossary of terms used throughout the text
Directs readers to resources for further reading in an appended
list
