“…And, if so, does this mean that the main text is depersonalized (cf. Miller, 1991)? Do I signal either my central or my marginal relation to the main text by having some final personal say?…”

“…Reflexive practice involves, but is not limited to, the relations between me and theory, between my personal authorial voice and theory's authorial voice. Miller (1991) called this the "double challenge" (i.e., the problem of "recast[ing] the subject's relation to itself and to authority, the authority in theory" (p. 21). But this challenge prompts an additional consideration: To whom am I writing these personal words?…”

They have uncovered unsettling components that comprised our traditional categories of "woman" and "gender." Such critical scrutiny has revealed troublesome implications that arise from studying cultural diversity, including problems with the From the outset, our task to approach the possibility of cultural diverse theory in psychology posed plentiful troubles, and we soon discovered that we could do nothing less than make trouble. Later, we encountered Judith Butler's mapping of gender trouble and are indebted to her extensive analyses. We also thank Melanie Killen, Hope Landrine, Roslyn Mendelson, Scott PIOUS, and Robert Steele for their critical readings and suggestions.
