The past two decades of psychoanalytic discourse have witnessed a
marked transformation in the way we think about women and gender.
The assignment of gender carries with it a host of assumptions, yet
without it we can feel lost in a void, unmoored from the world of
rationality, stability and meaning. The feminist analytic thinkers
whose work is collected here confront the meaning established by
the assignment of gender and the uncertainty created by its
absence. The contributions brought together in Psychoanalytic
Reflections on a Gender-free Case address a cross-section of
significant issues that have both chronicled and facilitated the
changes in feminist psychoanalysis since the mid 1980s. Difficult
issues which have previously been ignored (such as the pregnancy of
the therapist or sexual abuse regarded as more than a fantasy) are
considered first. The book goes on to address family perspectives
as they interact and shape the child's experience of growing up
male or female. Other topics covered are the authority of personal
agency as influenced by the language and theory of patriarchy,
male-centred concepts that consistently define women as inferior,
and the concept of gender as being co-constructed within a
relationship. The gender-free case presented here will fascinate
all psychoanalysts interested in exploring ways of grappling with
the elusive nature of gender, as well as those studying gender
studies.
