Jessica Benjamin is one of the most important and influential
psychoanalysts of the last 4 decades. She is one of the founders of
relational psychoanalysis, a movement that has by now expanded over
the globe and was also one of the first to introduce feminism and
gender studies into psychoanalytic thought. Jessica Benjamin is the
most known and quoted representative of these two movements within
world psychoanalysis and beyond, in philosophy, gender/women's
studies, and cultural studies department everywhere. The
publication of her book, "Bonds of Love" (1989) was nothing short
of a revolution. Psychoanalysis was until then a field immune to a
changing world, to the unrest of the 60s, to the feminist and queer
liberation movements, to the new philosophies of the Frankfurt
School in Germany and post-structuralism in France. The book was a
game changer. It called psychoanalysis to doubt its most basic
premises on the human condition. It read Freud through a feminist
framework, and through Hegel, forever tipping our perspective on
infancy, gender, and the interplay of power and dependence that
drives human relationships from the start. This volume marks the
25th anniversary of Benjamin's work. Pulling together 15
international scholars, it looks back on the book's first impact,
as well as on its continued relevance to psychoanalysis and gender
studies today. Chapters offer theoretical deliberations and
elaborations of the book's original themes as well as reflecting on
it from more intimate angles, as a source of personal and
professional inspiration for feminists and clinicians around the
world. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Studies in Gender and Sexuality.
