• Identify a gender development-related issue of critical importance to individuals and society.


• Summarize a psychoanalytic and a systems perspective approach to, and related positions on, this issue.


• Compare and contrast the two theories’ views on how gender development occurs, identifying and explaining implications for scholarly and professional practice.
