Over the past 30 years, psychological theory and practice abroad has undergone the most severe criticism and reappraisal than ever before. As an academic discipline, psychology contained distorted facts and pseudoscientific theories about women, supported stereotypical ideas about the abilities and psychological characteristics of women and men. Under the powerful influence of the female movement, feminism, independent areas were identified, which included the psychology of women and men (psychology of women, women's study, men's study, gender studies, feminist psychology) in different volumes and contents.
