Sex and gender are two different things, but what defines them? Are we definable? In an ever-changing world view of personal identity, never before have our descriptions and beliefs about our individual sexual identity and our gender identity and preferences been so openly discussed, and privately enquired. Why then, are people still confused about these important concepts?
Why Study Sex & Gender Development?
Beginning in child psychology and early years development, with clear descriptions and distinctions of sex and gender, in this module, you will learn about the biological factors in foetal development, genetic inheritance, psychological influences in early years development, gender schema formation, and social-psychological theories. Taking a much deeper look at psychoanalytic (psycho-sexual) aspects of sex identity, you will also be introduced to an entirely new theory of homosexual development and gender identity, by the psychoanalyst presenting this module, who highlights the true age that gender identity may begin to be formulated.
