Studies on Contemporary Western Feminist Psychology

Feminist psychology, as a branch of psychology, came into being and developed from the feminist psychology in western countries in the 1960s and 1070s. From the perspective of feminist stand and attitude, it reinterprets and examines closely the outlook of and methodology by the mainstream psychology. It criticizes the man-chauvinist values imbedded in the mainstream psychology that developed in the patriarchic society. In addition, it also reveals the misunderstanding and rejection in the mainstream psychology and its research practice towards feminist experiences. Feminist psychology, which is post-modernistic in nature, has the following theoretical features: negating all mammoth narration and metaphysical dualism, opposing the theory of essence and advocating pluralistic methods. It develops a school of its own when criticizing and reconstructing the methodology and epistemology by western mainstream psychology. Thus it plays a unique role in helping man understand correctly and in full human psychology as well as helping him probe the mysteries of spirit.
