The authors introduce and explain traditional approaches to the study of sex and gender whilst acknowledging their weaknesses and exploring a range of alternative ways of tackling this extremely complex subject.

Gender and sexuality permeate our lives and have a profound influence on who we are and what we feel, think and do. This book provides a fundamental and wide-ranging introduction to different psychological approaches to this field. It reviews both traditional and current theorization, reflecting the contradictory approaches that try to explain how gender and sexuality are acquired, their impact on identity, and their influence on life-styles, life-opportunities and life-choices. Using examples that are highly relevant, it encourages the reader to explore the implications of the various theoretical approaches for men and women and their relationships with each other.

Section one: mainstream psychological approaches to gender and sexuality; biological paradigms; social and cultural paradigms; interactive paradigms. Section two: the challenges to mainstream approaches; introduction to section two - challenges; liberatory challenges; feminist challenges; postmodern challenges. Section three: applications of a critical approach; where's the action?; aliens and others; bodies; sex crimes; new men, new women, new relationships.
