Feminist interventions in psychoanalysis have often attempted
either to subvert or re-frame the masculinist and phallocentric
biases of Freud's psychoanalysis. This book investigates the nature
of these interventions by comparing the status and treatment of
women in two different psychoanalytic models: the Kleinian and the
feminist models. It argues that, in fact, these interventions have
historically tended to reinforce such biases by collapsing the
distinction between the gendered minds of individuals and theories
of gender. This investigation is framed by two steps. First, in
assessing the position of women and the feminine in psychoanalysis,
The Gendered Unconscious explores not only the ways they are
represented in theory, but also how these representations function
in practice. Secondly, this book uses a framework of a comparative
dialogue to highlight the assumptions and values that underpin the
theory and clinical practice in the two psychoanalytic models. This
comparative critique concludes with the counter-intuitive claim
that contemporary Kleinian theory may, in practice, hold more
radical possibilities for the interests of women than the practices
derived from contemporary psychoanalytic gender theory. This book
is of significant interest to those studying the psychology of
women, psychoanalytic studies, health psychology, sociology, gender
studies and cultural studies. It will also be of interest to
clinicians and candidates of professional psychotherapy and
psychoanalytic training programmes.
