Section III of Division 39: Women, Gender & Psychoanalysis

Women, Gender, and Psychoanalysis is dedicated to professional development, research, scholarship, networking, mentoring, and referral opportunities. We promote deepened understanding of contemporary gender-related concerns involving work, play, and family.

We apply theory and research to clinical issues at our programs at the annual Division 39 spring meeting and the APA August meeting. We actively encourage members' political advocacy and maintain liaisons with other groups. We are especially focused on outreach to early career professionals. As a "psychological home" for women in psychology and psychoanalysis, we have invited innovative and creative presenters who are scholars in other fields, including art history, neurobiology, reproductive biology, sex research, and child abuse.
