Review New York Times Book Review : Theories of moral development are not mere abstractions. They matter--to the way children are raised, to female and male self-esteem, as ammunition for personal and political attack--and that is why Carol Gilligan's book is important...[It] is consistently provocative and imaginative. --Carol TavrisNew York Times Syndicate : Girls in our society learn early on that they are expected to behave in certain ways. In her 1982 book In a Different Voice, Carol Gilligan, a psychologist at Harvard University, wrote about the powerful messages young girls receive from those around them. Girls are expected to be compliant, quiet and introspective. They soon learn that they should suppress any open expression of aggression or even strong non-compliant feelings. They also learn...to value relationships more than rules. --T. Berry Brazelton, M.D.Vogue : It has the charge of a revelation...[Gilligan] flips old prejudices against women on their ears. She reframes qualities regarded as women's weaknesses and shows them to be human strengths. It is impossible to consider [her] ideas without having your estimation of women rise. --Amy GrossBoston Globe : Gilligan's book is feminism at its best...Her thesis is rooted not only in research but in common sense...Theories of human development are never more limited or limiting than when their bias is invisible, and Gilligan's book performs the vital service of illuminating one of the deepest biases of all. --Alfie KohnContemporary Psychology : A profound and profoundly important book. It poses a challenge to psychology...But it may be just what we need to revitalize our field and bring it into a more meaningful alignment with reality. --Elizabeth DouvanWashington Post : To those of us searching for a better understanding of the way men and women think and the different values we bring to public problems and to our private lives, [this book] is of enormous importance. --Judy Mann Review An important and original contribution to the understanding of human moral development in both men and women, Carol Gilligan writes with literary grace and a real sensitivity to the women she interviewed... Her book has important implications for philosophical as well as psychological theory. --Lawrence Kohlberg See all Editorial Reviews

(更多)While the truths of psychological theory have blinded psychologists to the truth of women's experience, that experience illuminates a world which psychologists have found hard to trace, a territory where violence is rare and relationships appear safe. The reason women's experience has been so difficult to decipher or even discern is that a shift in the imagery of relationships gives rise to a problem of interpretation. The images of hierarchy and web, drawn from the texts of men's and women's fantasies and thoughts, convey different ways of structuring relationships and are associated with different views of morality and self. But these images creat a problem in understanding because each distorts the other's representation. As the top of hierarchy becomes the edge of the web and as the center of a network of connection becomes the middle of a hierarchical progression, each image marks as dangerous the place which the other defines as safe.
(收起)These disparate visions in their tension reflect the paradoxical truths of human experience ---- that we know ourselves as separate only insofar as we live in connection with others, and that we experience relationship only insofar as we differentiate other from self.

Many observations about sex difference support the conclusion reached by David McClelland(1975) thatConsequently, relationships, and particularly issues of dependency, are experienced differently by women and men. For boys and men, separation and individuation are critically tied to gender identity since separation from the mother is essential for the development of masculinity. For girls and women, issues of femininity or feminine identity do not depend on the achievement of separation from the mother or on the progress of indeviduation. Since masculinity is defined through separation while femininity is defined through attachment, male gender identity is threatened by intimacy while female gender identity is threatened by separation. Thus males tend to have difficulty with relationships, while females tend to have problems with individuation.
But it's difficult to say "different" without saying "better" or "worse", since there is a tendency to construct a single scale of measurement, and since that scale has generally been derived from and standardized on the basis of men's interpretations of research data drawn predominantly or exclusively from studies of males, psychologists "have tended to regard male behavior as the 'norm' and female behavior as some kind of deviation from that norm". Thus, when women do not conform to the standards of psychological expectation, the conclusion has generally been that something is wrong the women.sex role turns out to be one of the most important determinants of human behavior; psychologists have found sex differences in their studies from the moment they started doing empirical research.
That "recognition" means the continuing importance of attachment in the human life cycle. (收起)Woman's place in man's life cycle is to protect this recognition while the developmental litany intones the celebration of separation, autonomy, individuation, and natural rights.

Women's discovery of the problems that ensue from rendering oneself selfless in order to have "relationships" was momentous in releasing women's voices and making it possible to hear what women know. It was like seeing under the surface or picking up the undercurrents of the human coversation: what is known, and then not known, felt but not spoken. Women's choices not to speak or rather ... (更多)Women's discovery of the problems that ensue from rendering oneself selfless in order to have "relationships" was momentous in releasing women's voices and making it possible to hear what women know. It was like seeing under the surface or picking up the undercurrents of the human coversation: what is known, and then not known, felt but not spoken. Women's choices not to speak or rather to dissociate themselves from what they themselves are saying can be deliberate or unwritting, consciously chosen or enacted through the body by narrowing the passages connecting the voice with breath and sound, by keeping the voice high in the head so that it does not carry the depths of human feelings or a mix of feelings and thoughts, or by changing voice, shifting to a more guarded or impersonal register or key. Choices not to speak are often well-intentioned and psychologically protective, motivated by concerns for people's feelings and by an awareness of the realities of one's own and others' lives. And yet by restricting their voices, many women are wittingly or unwittingly perpetuating a male-voiced civilization and an order of living that is founded on disconnecting from women.In the New York Review of Books(June 10, 1993), Dworkin, who was led by the work of feminist legal scholars to the women, was struck by what Carol found: the difference between these women's voices and the terms of the public abortion debate. He found them deeply illuminating. He also reached the conclusion:" deciding about abortion is not a unique problem, disconnected from all other decisions, but rather a dramatic and intensely lit example of choices people must make throughout their lives."
