Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition This book offers Dimen’s classic take on psychosexuality drawing on relational theory feminism and postmodernism with a new foreword by Virginia Goldner and Velleda Ceccoli honouring the late Muriel Dimen and introducing a new audience to her profound legacy. For Dimen the shift from dualism to multiplicity that has reshaped a range of disciplines can also be brought to bear on our thinking about sexuality. She urges us to return to the open-mindedness hiding between the lines and buried in the footnotes of Freud’s writings and to replace the determinism into which his thought has hardened with more fluid notions of contingency paradox and thirdness. By unveiling the colloquy among psychoanalysis social theory and feminism Dimen challenges clinicians and academicians alike to rethink ideas about gender eroticism and perversion. She explores among other topics the relations between lust and libido; the limitations of Darwinian thought in theorizing homosexuality; the body as projective test; and the intimate tangle of love and hate between women. Generous clinical examples illustrate the ways in which a radical re-visioning of psychosexuality benefits therapists and patients alike. A brilliant example of contemporary psychoanalytic theory at its destabilizing best Sexuality Intimacy Power covers both clinical insights and theoretical rethinking that is invaluable for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and students of women’s gender and queer studies. | Sexuality Intimacy Power Classic Edition GBP 29.99 1
