Recent societal changes have challenged long-established concepts
in psychoanalysis, including the Oedipus complex, parental
functions, and male and female psychosexuality. 'Postmodern
families', based on sexual and emotional exchanges independent of
gender, now include homoerotic couples who adopt children, or who
create them through assisted fertilisation, as well as single
parent families and blended families. A number of highly-renowned
Latin American psychoanalysts have drawn attention to the urgency
of revising theoretical and clinical concepts in the light of these
new scenarios. In this book, they open up ideas which cover
familiar territory of current concerns in psychoanalytic work, as
well as other little-explored areas, with the emphasis on evolving
sexualities and new experiences of parenthood. The first section
revisits psychoanalytic theories, particularly parental functions
in the area of sexuality and gender. The following section
discusses new family configurations, and vicissitudes of the desire
to have a child in men and women, with the authors presenting some
psychic consequences for parents in therapy who have turned to
assisted fertilisation.
