VI. Connections, Disconnections, and Violations

Over the last two decades women have created an extensive body of literature in psychology as well as other fields. However, a new, fully developed theory of women’s psychological development does not yet exist. Several of these writers have worked on modifications of existing theories such as Freudian, Jungian, object relations and others. Other writers have proposed that the close study of women’s experience leads to the creation of new values, categories and terms; and that these necessitate assumptions different from those which underlie prior theories, e.g. Belenky et al. (1986); Gilligan (1982, 1987); Jordan (1986, 1987); Miller (1986[1976], 1986) and Surrey (1984, 1987). This paper is part of the attempt to carry on the latter kind of work. I’ll begin by reviewing some of the Stone Center’s work on the centrality of the sense of connection in women’s lives, and then try to suggest how psychological troubles – or what are called ‘pathologies’ – follow from the disconnections and violations that women experience.
