Unit 3: Developmental Psychology and the Psychology of Women



Unit 3, Developmental Psychology and Psychology of Women contains several heavy issues. We discuss issues involved with being Intersexed, along with the medical overuse of episotomies and Female Genital Mutilation. I have developed this page to provide additional resources for those interested in these issues, along with outlines of lecture notes. Remember, these notes do not contain all the information presented in class but are available here to assist you with the note taking process.

I would like to bring to attention the following quote from this website: " The National Organization for Women (NOW) became the first national feminist group to call for intersex children's right "to choose and be properly and fully informed regarding cosmetic medical procedures involving their bodies or genitals." The overwhelming majority of intersexed children are raised as females.
