Femininities, Masculinities, Sexualities: Freud and BeyondWith her first book, The Reproduction of Mothering, Nancy Chodorow revolutionised feminist theory and therapy. Now she takes her fellow psychoanalysts to task for their monolithic and pathologizing accounts of deviant gender and sexuality. In this her first extended treatment of sexuality and love, she asks the question: is psychoanalysis capable of addressing questions of multiplicity and variability in gender development and gender diversity? |
