Psychoanalysis and Women, Volume 32 of The Annual of
Psychoanalysis, is a stunning reprise on theoretical,
developmental, and clinical issues that have engaged analysts from
Freud on. It begins with clinical contributions by Joyce McDougall
and Lynne Layton, two theorists at the forefront of clinical work
with women; Jessica Benjamin, Julia Kristeva, and Ethel Spector
Person, from their respective vantage points, all engage the issue
of passivity, which Freud tended to equate with femininity.
Employing a self-psychological framework, Christine Kieffer returns
to the Oedipus complex and sheds new light on the typically Pyrrhic
oedipal victory of little girls. Section III broadens the
historical context of contemporary theorizing about women by
offering the personal reminiscences of Nancy Chodorow, Carol
Gilligan, Brenda Solomon, and Malkah Notman. A final section,
dedicated to "women who shared psychoanalysis," features historical
essays on Ida Bauer (Freud's "Dora"), Anna Freud, Dorothy
Burlingham, Edith Jacobson, and Therese Benedek, along with Linda
Hopkins's revealing interview of Marion Milner. Of special note is
Marian Tolpin's examination of three women - Bauer, Helene Deutch,
and Anna Freud - who helped shape Freud's notion of the "femail
castration complex," and Elisabeth Young-Bruehl's exploration of
how two women - Anna Freud and Dorothy Burlingham - developed
parent-infant observation. Psychoanalysis and Women is an
extraordinary chronicle of the distance traveled since Freud
characterized women's sexual life as "the dark continent." The
contributors vitalize a half century of theory with the lessons of
biography, and they broaden clinical sensibilities by drawing on
recent developmental, gender-related, and socio-psychological
research. In doing so, they attest to the ongoing reconfiguration
of Freud's dark continent and show the psychoanalytic psychology of
women to be very much a revolution in progress.
