Sexuality, Excess, and Representation develops a psychoanalytic
understanding of psychic bisexuality and how it can be understood
theoretically and in clinical practice. Rosine Jozef Perelberg
articulates a Freudian metapsychology with modern preoccupations
with questions of sexual difference and differences. She expands on
the ideas presented in her previous book edited work, Psychic
Bisexuality: a British-French Dialogue. The author's approach
brings back into focus Freud's idea that "one is not born already
made as a man or woman, but one is constituted as such in the
process of development". Freud's theoretical writing on bisexuality
is examined, returning us firmly to infantile sexuality and the
Oedipus complex and the "repudiation of femininity". Perelberg
draws on her past training as a social anthropologist to propose
and explore the differentiation between sex, gender, and sexuality.
She considers post-war academic work in gender and women's studies
and queer theory, arguing that the object of psychoanalysis is not
gender but sexuality, which establishes a link between the sexual
and the unconscious. She suggests that the unconscious permanently
challenges our apparent unity as subjects. Sexuality, Excess and
Representation will be of great interest to all practicing
psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
