2020 Gradiva Award Nominee, Best Edited Book Psychoanalytic
Perspectives on Women and Their Experience of Desire, Ambition and
Leadership considers how these factors can be understood, nurtured,
or thwarted and the subsequent impact on women's identity,
authority and satisfaction. Psychoanalysis has long struggled with
its ideas about women, about who they are, how to work with them,
and how to respect and encourage what women want. This book argues
that psychoanalytic theory and practice must evolve to maintain its
relevance in a volatile landscape. Each section of the book begins
with a chapter that reviews contemporary ideas regarding women, as
well as psychoanalytic history, gender bias, and societal norms and
deficits. Three composite clinical stories allow our distinguished
contributors to discuss the contexts within which individual
experience can be affected, and the role that clinical work may
have to mobilize and advance passion and vitality. In their
discussions, the interplay of clinical psychoanalysis,
sociopolitical context, and understanding of gender, combine to
offer a unique perspective, built on decades of scholarship,
personal experience, and clinical expertise. Psychoanalytic
Perspectives on Women and Their Experience of Desire, Ambition and
Leadership will serve as a reference for all psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as gender studies scholars
interested in the progress of psychoanalytic theory regarding women
in the 21st century. Contributors to this book include: Rosemary
Balsam, Brenda Bauer, Andrea Celenza, Diane Elise, Adrienne Harris,
Dorothy Holmes, Nancy Kulish, Vivian Pendar, Dionne Powell, and
Arlene Richards.
