Teaching value clarification: the example of gender and psychotherapy
Abstract
The authors describe an effective model for teaching and evaluating a one-semester course on gender and psychotherapy for psychiatry residents. Clarification of values and attitudes about gender involves learning at both intellectual and affective levels. The authors conceptualize this cognitive-affective interplay as a series of stages or turning points in the process of value change and professional resocialization. The process may also be viewed as a microcosm of the inevitable gender-based conflicts that occur in the daily lives of the participants and in the wider social context. The course evaluation demonstrates that residents are able to translate the new knowledge into clinical practices.
