Psychology of Gender
Although it may once have seemed acceptable to assume that the theories and practice of psychotherapy could remain isolated from their social and cultural contexts, it has more recently become clear that competent practitioners must attend to the rich diversity of their clients' lives. Gender is a significant variable that shapes how clients identify, experience, and attribute responsibility for their problems, choose to address them, and behave in the psychotherapy office. In addition, gender affects the behavior of practitioners themselves. Thus, competent and ethical therapeutic practice requires that practitioners become as knowledgeable as they can be about the emerging literature on gender and its implications for practice.
