The last 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 articles brought together in "Psychoanalytic Reflections on a
Gender-free" "Case: Into the Void" address a cross-section of
significant issues that have both chronicled and facilitated the
changes of the last two decades of feminist psychoanalysis.
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-centered concepts that consistently define women
as inferior, and the concept of gender as being co-constructed
within a relationship. Thus the authors explore the notion of
gender identity as an ongoing negotiation among multiple gendered
selves.
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.
