Description
The implications of a number of forms of reflexivity are explored for feminist work within psychology. “Personal” and “functional” reflexivity raise issues relating the identity of the researcher and the form/function of the research, while “disciplinary” reflexivity entails analysis of the nature and influence of the field of enquiry. It is argued that reflexivity, particularly of the disciplinary form, is a potentially powerful agent for change within traditional academic disciplines, such as psychology, in that it can be self-consciously applied to advance the feminist challenge.
