Psychoanalysis And Homosexuality Av Leezah (british Psychoanalytic Council Uk) Hertzmann, Juliet (british Psychoanalytic Council Uk) Newbigin

<P>This important book examines the ways in which same sex desire, or "homosexuality" has been theorised by psychoanalysis during its history to date and the impact of that on clinical practice. </P><P>The authors explore a brief history of the developing social attitudes which influenced the evolution of psychoanalysis, from Freud¿s radical questioning of psychosexuality, to the later developments that assumed a moral high ground for heteronormativity and led to the diagnosis of other forms of sexual expression as perversions requiring treatment. The book elucidates contemporary developments in psychoanalytic thinking about sexuality from a post-heteronormative standpoint, including an examination of how heteronormative bias has relegated lived sexual experience to the sidelines. The book challenges this bias and introduces new ways of using psychoanalytic ideas as well as illustrating their relevance to clinical practice. Drawing on vignettes, the authors describe current challenges
