The Changing Gender Composition of Psychology: Update and Expansion on the 1995 Task Force Report

The "Changing Gender Composition of Psychology: Update and Expansion of the 1995 Task Force Report" by APA's Committee on Women in Psychology provides current data and recommendations in four key areas: 

  • Psychology in sociocultural context. 
  • Education and training of psychologists. 
  • Employment of psychologists. 
  • Professional activities of psychologists. 

Within each chapter, we pay particular attention to issues in academic and health provider settings as well as to multiple intersections of identity.
