Sandler, Sheila Spensley, Sverre Varvin, and Rudi Vermote."Sex has
undoubtedly become more complex since Freud s original
descriptions, yet in another way it has changed little. It is still
there as the primary motor ensuring the survival of our species,
the perpetuation of our genetic material. For all mammals the
process of reproduction is at the centre of their behavioural
systems. For mammals with minds, this is unlikely to be different.
Sexual inhibition and dissatisfaction, conflicts and perversions,
the sheer intensity of guilt, jealousy, and rage that sexuality
entails, are indicators of how central sexual function remains for
us. Psychoanalysis cannot shirk its traditional responsibility of
casting light into the darkest recesses of our mental
existence."--Peter Fonagy"All the contributors to this volume agree
that understanding sexuality in its current manifestations, its
normalities and pathologies, its relevance to illness and the
process of recovery from trauma and failed developments within the
therapeutic dyad and other relationships remains a central topic
for future psychoanalytic research. Sexuality has to be
rediscovered by psychoanalysis as its genuine field of research,
which earns a high priority in our everyday clinical practice as
well as in theorizing and research."--Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber"
