A Story of Her Own is a reformulation of the psychoanalytic concept
of the "female oedipal complex"-a term that encompasses the
triangular development phase and the important conflicts and
experiences in girls and women. Inspired by the mythic role in
human experience and in the unique aspects of femininity, Nancy
Kulish and Deanna Holtzman formulate a new name-"The Persephone
Complex"-for this concept. They integrate traditional
psychoanalytic theory, contemporary theories and data about female
development and psychology, and clinical experience with female
patients into a comprehensive theory that is not based on male
models. With accumulated knowledge from their clinical work, they
present new psychoanalytic and therapeutic perspectives on the
experience of girls and women attempting to uncover a sense of
agency in their lives. They touch upon the unique ways women cope
with their sexuality and feelings about their bodies; with feelings
of anger, competition, and jealousy; and with their ever-evolving
relationships with their mothers, fathers, peers, and lovers.

The loss of virginity is irreversible. Even God, who performs all
sorts of miracles, parts the seas, raises the dead, cannot,
according to our religious traditions, reverse its finality. Even
in today's sexually permissive world, the loss of virginity is an
important developmental milestone that marks the passage to adult
sexuality. On one side of the threshold lies Peter Pan's
never-never land, a world of perpetual childhood. On the other lies
adult sexuality, procreation and parenthood, and ultimately death.
This text focuses on the meanings of the loss of virginity. Using
examples from myths, literature, and their extensive clinical
practice, the authors demonstrate the importance of this milestone
in understanding the psychology of women as well as the ways in
which men relate to women.
