Psychology of Woman
The study of psychology of women has pushed the boundaries of the traditional theory,
produced breakthroughs in methodology, and built links to the most challenging obstacles of the
present day. It has remained socially relevant and intellectually vibrant, which includes
initiatives which not only have changed the epistemology of understanding but also have
increased researchers’ knowledge of people and the world.
Women are way more perceptive compared to men as an average woman understands
social situations and picks up on social cues much better than an average man. There is a
presumption that every person thinks exactly the same, women are no exception, and a huge

the advancement and growth of psychoanalysis. Being the initial woman to join Freud’s Vienna
Psychoanalytic Society in 1918, Helene Deutsch extensively wrote on areas such as; female
adolescence, motherhood and psychology of women; and also published her initial
psychoanalytic writing on female’s sexuality.
Freud was opposed to female emancipation movement while his belief was; a woman’s
life was dominated by her sexual reproductive functions; the big question which still lacks
answers and which no individual has yet attempted to answer (Bernay & Cantor, 2013).
He believed women experience penis envy; which was the female counterpart to his
castration anxiety concept. Freud’s theory on psychosexual development, he suggests at the
young Phallic Stage, little girls devote their affection to the father and distance themselves from
the mother. This occurs after the girl realizes that she lacks penis and they may hold their
mothers as being accountable for their lack of penis.
