Psychoanalysis has traditionally viewed women as objects of desire.
Rethinking the Relation between Women and Psychoanalysis uses a
contemporary psychoanalytic view to resituate women’s place in
the narrative as desiring subjects. Contributors to this collection
raise questions about the status of woman in culture and society
and contend with the theme of loss and mourning that has been
associated with women since the beginning of psychoanalysis. The
various configurations of mourning, pain, regret, and grieving in
diverse societies and cultures are explored in order to reconstruct
the role of women in modern psychoanalysis.
Rethinking the Relation between Women and Psychoanalysis: Loss,
Mourning, and the Feminine uses contemporary psychoanalytic views
to resituate women as desiring subjects within the psychoanalytic
narrative. Contributors to this edited collection explore the
various configurations of mourning, pain, regret, and grieving in
diverse societies and cultures in order to reconstruct the role of
women in modern psychoanalysis. They raise questions about the
status of women in culture and society and contend with themes that
psychoanalysts have associated with women since the late nineteenth
century, such as loss and mourning, femininity and motherhood, and
desire and sexuality. This book is recommended for students and
scholars of psychology, gender studies, cultural studies,
literature, and philosophy.
