Description
Summary:This paper reviews the current status of the psychology of women field within Canadian psychology as revealed in the feminization of psychology in Canada, psychology of women courses in academic psychology, research publications in Canadian journals, papers presented at Canadian Psychological Association ( CPA ) conventions, and doctoral dissertation projects. The paper concludes with an insider's view of some of the general characteristics of the Canadian variant of feminist psychology. Cet article étudie l'état actuel de la place de la psychologie des femmes au sein de la psychologie canadienne, sous l'angle de la féminisation de la psychologie au Canada, les cours de psychologie des femmes offerts dans les universités, les publications de recherche dans les revues scientifiques canadiennes, les articles présentés dans le cadre des congrès de la Société canadienne de psychologie (SCP) et les projets de thèses de doctorat. L'article présente pour finir un point de vue privilégié quant aux caractéristiques générales de l'expression canadienne de la psychologie féministe.
