This psychoanalytic theory was developed by a group of feminist psychoanalysts. It emphasizes the patriarchal bias in psychoanalytic theory and practice and seeks to correct it through a focus on gender, power, and social context. It also highlights the role of the mother-daughter relationship, the construction of femininity, and the potential for empowerment and transformation.
