Where Theories of Human Development and The Feminist Movement Begin to Work on the Same Project Supporting a Pathway to Cultural Inclusion

This lecture traces the history of theories of human development (psychodynamic/child development), challenges by the feminist movement and Esprit Social practice and supports connection in understanding another culture. We see a movement from de-contextualized theory where the expert makes universal statements about human growth to contextualized theory where the issues involve understanding personal context from a health model rather than a disease perspective.
