Abstract

In this text I present arguments about the importance of including the analysis of the gender category both in teaching and in the practice, theorization and dissemination of the psychological discipline, focusing on the use of the e-portfolio as a tool for the development of reflective and critical thinking, based on a teaching-learning experience with professionals in clinical psychology and psychotherapy.
