| DESCRIPTION: 'A small gem, it not
only elucidates our current understanding (and various failures of understanding)
of sex and gender, but as a bonus provides an exemplary guide to how best
to unpack the underlying assumptions that infuse theory.'
International Journal of Psycho-Analysis With her first book, The Reproduction of Mothering, Nancy Chodorow revolutionized 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? |
