| Abstract
|
:
|
"Contesting both traditional and feminist psychology, Transforming Psychology examines how we can create knowledge once we are aware of the distortions of traditional approaches. Once we recognize bias in psychology, how do we research? In our research, how do we take into account the shaping power of the social and historical contexts that guide people's actions? At the same time, how do we create new ways of knowing that view those we study as subjects, actively creating their realities? Although deeply informed by feminist challenges to psychology, Transforming Psychology also questions feminist beliefs. It disputes feminist distinctions between sex (i.e., biology) and gender (i.e., culture), and contests the existence of a uniquely "feminist" methodology."--Jacket.
