In this book, international psychoanalytic writers address the
question 'What do Women Want Today?' from a variety of lenses,
bringing into focus the creative, resilient forces shown by women
in their multiple social and psychological tasks. The book reviews
classic psychoanalytic theories about the feminine within a new
cultural context. It challenges hegemonic gender prejudices and
discusses new conceptions that do not pathologize 'different'
lifestyles and family configurations. With chapters by leading,
international thinkers in the field, this book explores how to
think about new feminine scenarios, gender identities, gender
dynamics, motherhood, and desire, in light of modern psychoanalytic
theories. In presenting how these changing contemporary notions of
the feminine challenge classic psychoanalytic theory and practice,
this book will compel both training and experienced analysts to
think about new psychoanalytic theories and engage with their own
prejudices regarding changing notions of the feminine. Offering
ideas relevant to psychoanalysis, sociology, gender studies,
psychology, and activism, this book will be of great interest to
professionals, teachers and students in addition to any with an
interest in psychoanalytic theory and women's studies.

Psychoanalysis: Listening to Understand contains so much wisdom and
demonstrates a way of thinking that allows for growth, expansion of
mind, and deep contact with psychic life. Having these articles
together in one volume makes each of the ideas more vibrant as it
intersects with others. Together they make the songs of inner life
into an unforgettable chorus. Arlene Kramer Richards is always
listening for pain, affect, experience, and unconscious fantasies
and imagery with the courage it takes to believe there is more to
learn. Any struggle with trying to define what psychoanalysis is
could be resolved by traveling with Arlene as she thinks, explores
the psyche, practices in her consulting room, teaches, supervises,
and writes. The papers in this volume contain breakthrough ideas in
areas of female development, perverseness of mind, creativity and
poetry, and the experience of extreme loneliness. She draws us into
the world of film and the layers of unconscious depicted in the
dramas. She brings insight to areas of study with an eye to what
others have been afraid to see. One comes away from the pages of
this book knowing a lot more than they had imagined. And, even more
impressively, readers will realize they now feel more able to delve
further and continue learning as Arlene s voice demonstrates.
I thought I had a food curse... What else could explain being ok on
a diet and then suddenly, out of nowhere, I was head deep in a box
of cereal, about to move on to the freezer? It turns out, I didn't
have a food problem. I had a feelings problem. On a
moment-to-moment basis, I was having reactions and responses to
people, situations, and events in my day. I didn't realize it, but
every time I ran to food and then a diet, I was running away from
me It wasn't until I learned to make the connection between my
feelings and food, that I was able to keep my weight down. Your
eating patterns are your very own GPS system for food, life, and
for love. They lead you to your truth, to the very best part of
you, and believe it or not, into those skinny jeans ADVANCE PRAISE
