Opis

This book provides an overall theoretical survey of 20th century psychoanalytic and feminist theory and argues that only when feminist insights about gender power relations have been integrated, will psychoanalysis realise its full potential.

Recenzje

'Marie Maguire brings a fresh and feminist perspective to the way psychoanalysis and its theoreticians have handled the basic issues of 'Men, Women, Passion and Power.'' - Self and Society

`This book provides a most moving testimony to the often ignored session-to-session movement in patients' gendered experience of themselves... Marie Maguire eloquently conveys the complexity involved in current therapy debates...a most readable and timely book.' - Janet Sayers

`It is rare to encounter a book with such an accomplished integration of theory and practice in such a complex and important area.' - Stephen Frosh

`a useful resource for any therapeutic or counselling training, or discussion of psychotherapeutic practice, in which gender issues are so powerfully inscribed. It is clearly relevant for all `psychology of women' or women's studies courses that address mental health issues, and provides a succinct summary of a key set of debates.' - Feminism & Psychology
