(AO3) Support - psychodynamic approach
Point: The psychodynamic approach shows gender bias by explaining women's behaviour through their lack of maleness, effectively minimising female psychology.
Evidence: Freud's Oedipus complex and penis envy suggests women are psychologically incomplete. Similarly, the psychodynamic explanations of crime claim women have an underdeveloped superego & rely on men to make moral decisions.
Evaluate: This reflects androcentrism, using male development as the norm.
HOWEVER: Modern theories like the Electra complex and womb envy challenge this, recognising female development as distinctive.
