Who this course is for
This course welcomes psychologists, other health professionals, and community members who want to better understand how historical beliefs about women’s bodies and minds continue to shape care today. Participants may come to this material through professional practice, community work, caregiving, advocacy, or personal experience.
About the course
This course examines the historical relationship between reproductive medicine and psychology, including how beliefs about women’s reproductive bodies shaped professional interpretations of women’s minds, behavior, distress, and capacity. Participants will consider shifts in authority over women’s care, whose knowledge was treated as credible, and how these histories may still influence contemporary understandings of women’s experiences. The course also introduces a historically informed framework for more comprehensive assessment, formulation, referral, consultation, and interdisciplinary care.
Learning objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify key historical developments in the relationship between reproductive medicine and psychology that remain relevant to contemporary psychological care of women.
- Explain how reproductive, relational, cultural, and practical factors may influence women’s psychological symptoms, assessment, and clinical formulation.
- Apply a historically informed framework to the assessment of women by identifying relevant questions, important clinical considerations, and appropriate referral or consultation needs.
