Mothers in the twenty-first century confront us, both in clinical
practice and in theory, with fascinating challenges that to some
extent subvert the traditional maternal ideal: the motherhood of

The Embodied Female is the first volume of this series for the
Committee on Women and Psychoanalysis of the International
Psychoanalytical Association. This book brings together highly
original and insightful contributions from an international group
of renowned psychoanalaysts.
This book provides an overview of the events of intimacy, a
chronicle of the erogenous events that occur in a woman's body. It
discusses the concept of psychoanalysis keeping very close to the
body-a body that feels, vibrates, and is repressed, a body that
depends on its fellow beings.
This book attempts to explore certain asymptomatic areas of the
mind and to integrate them within the overall domain of
psychopathological dynamics. It is in these areas that desire,
de-alienation and inner freedom play a predominant role. Far from
being trivial, the integrative work done on these issues has
repercussions on other psychic functions through associative
channels. Facilitating pathways that open up new avenues are
created; the Oedipal tragedy and the other tragedies that are part
of life are made easier to negotiate. In the midst of the clamor of
neurosis, working on health collaborates in the treatment. Without
falling into unwarranted enthusiasm or naive optimism, this book
examines how positivity operates, and goes on to investigate the
concept of the construction of an internal framework, the reversal
of repetition, and the problematic issues raised by impasse and
trauma.
This book takes a fresh look at women in their maternal role. In
the twenty-first century, with its frenzy and heterogeneity, where
the mixture of modernity and post-modernity is not without danger,
motherhood cannot escape the impact of social and cultural
transformations. Psycho-history, the accumulation and variety of
psychoanalytic theories of femininity and motherhood, the
contribution of gender studies, cross-disciplinary research, and
listening to what our patients have to say-all this has yielded, in
the past few decades, much controversial data that challenges
orthodox classical thinking on the role and function of women as
mothers.Mothers in the twenty-first century confront us, both in
clinical practice and in theory, with fascinating challenges that,
to some extent, subvert the traditional maternal ideal: the
motherhood of single women; motherhood in which the mother-child
relationship seems minimal (in the case of very busy working
mothers); teenage motherhood in which there is no true awareness of
the maternal function; motherhood in couples of homosexual women;
men who take upon themselves the maternal function (men-mothers);
complex motherhood by virtue of the multiple variants which have
nowadays become possible thanks to new reproductive techniques;
shared motherhood; surrogate motherhood; sublimated motherhood; and
perverse motherhood.The Contributors: H. Harsch, Giovanna Ambrosio,
Estela Welldon, Toni Heineman, Ehrenfeld Diane, Joan Raphael-Leff,
