- Description: The editors of Feminism and Psychology are delighted to introduce the first of our State of the Discipline papers. Twenty-five years have passed since the establishment of FandP. Significant work in feminist psychology and in feminisms relevant to psychology has been published both in this jour-nal and in others since (and before) the establishment of FandP. The range of topics that feminists in psychology consider has expanded and the reach of feminist studies has broadened. In light of the dynamic growth of the field, we believe that the time is ripe to establish what we have termed ‘State of the Discipline’ papers. We envision this series as a collection of occasional papers pertaining to particular topics or issues. What, we ask, is the current state of a specific topic within feminisms and psychologies? The State of the Discipline papers, written by scholars with a long-standing engagement with the topic, are neither empirical articles nor literature re-views. Instead, the papers are intended to apprise readers of the current state of knowledge about the topic, drawing on the literatures of both psy-chology and feminist studies. The articles: summarise key developments; point out areas of conceptual and methodological debate among feminist scholars; open up the topic to further scrutiny and new ways of understand-ing; and promote nuanced work in the field.

Deconstructing Developmental Psychology–Twenty years on: Reflections, implications and empirical work

- Description: Erica Burman’s book Deconstructing Developmental Psychology (DDP), which appeared in first edition in 1994 and in second edition in 2008, critically appraised mainstream psychology’s approaches to child development, using feminist and post-structuralist theory. In it she examines the historical contingencies and cultural assumptions that form the conditions of possibility for the elaboration of the various Developmental Psychology approaches. She shows how these approaches form powerful discursive resources in regulating women and families, in marginalizing working class and ethnic minority people, and in pathologizing mothers. In this special focus, to appear over three issues, we seek to unpack the impact of the book since its first publication 20 years ago.
