Introduction:
Feminist psychoanalysis as a critical approach roots in the values, issues, and principles of feminism which focuses on both gender and social structures. This approach grows out of the influence of women's movement in the 1960's. Historically, feminist psychoanalytic criticism emerges as a reaction to most of the research that has been done from a male perspective, which in se gives evidence to man's domination and subalternation of women. For example, Freud's theory involving concepts such as "penis envy," which shows bias towards males and triggers offensive distaste from the supporters of the feminist movement, is another reason for the appearance of feminist psychology.
