Inspired by the clinical and ethical contributions of Muriel Dimen,
Social Aspects of Sexual Boundary Trouble goes beyond the
established consensus that sexual boundary violations (SBV)
constitute a serious breach of professional ethics, in order to
explore the cultural and historical implications of their chronic
persistence. In Rotten Apples and Ambivalence, her last major
publication, Dimen (2016) maintained that "the phenomenon of sexual
transgression between analyst and patient . . . is insufficiently
addressed so long as it is only deemed psychological." In
responding to and developing Dimen's argument, the distinguished
contributors to this volume bring the discussion of SBV to a new
level of ethical rigor and depth, challenging the psychoanalytic
profession to go beyond its codified complacency. This collection
shatters normative professional guidelines by focusing on the
complicity and hypocrisy of professional groups, while at the same
time raising the taboo subject of the ordinary practicing
clinician's unconscious professional ambivalence and potentially
"rogue" sexual subjectivity. Social Aspects of Sexual Boundary
Trouble uncovers the roots of SBV in the institutional origins and
history of psychoanalysis as a profession. Exploring Dimen's
concept of the psychoanalytic "primal crime," which is in some ways
constitutive of the profession, and the inherently unstable nature
of interpersonal and professional "boundaries," Social Aspects of
Sexual Boundary Trouble breaks new ground in the continuing
struggle of psychoanalysis to reconcile itself with its liminal
social status and its origins as a subversive, morally ambiguous
practice. It will be highly relevant to specialists in
psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, critical theory, feminist studies
and social thought.
