Sexualities: Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspectives

Editat de Alessandra Lemma, Paul Lynch
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 iun 2015

Nivel de studiu: masterat, doctorat și referință profesională în psihanaliză și psihoterapie.

Observăm în volumul Sexualities, coordonat de Alessandra Lemma și Paul Lynch, o încercare riguroasă de a recalibra busola psihanalitică în raport cu revoluția sexuală și noile realități clinice. Cartea nu se mulțumește cu o simplă trecere în revistă a teoriilor clasice, ci propune un model de dezvoltare a excitației și dorinței care integrează perspective internaționale diverse. Structura este organizată progresiv: începe cu fundamentul istoric, trece prin elaborări contemporane ale conceptelor de bază și dedică secțiuni extinse homosexualității și redefinirii perversiunii.

Merită menționat modul în care autorii chestionează dacă mai avem nevoie de conceptul de „perversiune” sau dacă termenul de „variații sexuale” este mai adecvat practicii actuale. Exemplele clinice incluse sunt esențiale pentru înțelegerea modului în care tehnica psihanalitică poate dezvălui semnificații proaspete în lucrul cu pacienți de orice orientare. Această abordare continuă preocuparea Alessandrei Lemma pentru psihopatologie și intervenții dinamice, vizibilă în lucrările sale anterioare Introduction to Psychopathology și Brief Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, dar cu un accent specific pe corporalitate și identitate.

Sexualities constituie o alternativă la Identity, Gender, and Sexuality de Peter Fonagy pentru cursurile de psihanaliză contemporană, având avantajul unei focalizări mai accentuate pe provocările clinice imediate, cum ar fi relația dintre expresia de gen și orientarea sexuală. Dacă Psychoanalysis and Homosexuality de Leezah Hertzmann se concentrează pe istoricul prejudecăților, volumul de față face pasul spre o teorie științifică a diversității, demonstrând că elementele esențiale ale sexualității umane sunt mai degrabă similare decât divergente.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte psihanaliștilor, psihoterapeuților și cadrelor universitare care doresc să depășească viziunile heteronormative clasice. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a modului în care conceptele de mirroring și complexul lui Oedip sunt aplicate astăzi în lucrul cu variațiile sexuale și identitatea de gen, primind instrumente teoretice validate pentru o practică clinică incluzivă și modernă.

Recenzii

"In this remarkable new collection of essays, Alessandra Lemma and Paul E. Lynch have provided us with an up-to-the-minute compendium of current psychoanalytic thinking regarding sexualities. Desire, developmental pathways of gender and sexual orientation, prostitution, perversion, sexual excitement, intimacy, and many other themes are considered from various perspectives that are unfailingly enlightening. Psychoanalysis has struggled with this entire area because of our fear of looking at what is in front of our eyes. This extraordinary book helps us see what we may prefer to avoid in ourselves and in others. It deserves a place on the bookshelf of every psychoanalytically-oriented clinician and will surely be used as a textbook for courses in psychoanalytic institutes. - Glen O. Gabbard, MD. - Training and Supervising Analyst at the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies in Houston.
This book sets a new standard. Contributors portray extraordinary empathy for and rich clinical documentation of the wide range of psychic and behavioral usages of sexuality and gender. They candidly acknowledge wrestling, like Freud, with old feelings -- discomfort with some current culturally-contested formulations while being at the forefront of contestation. Several chapters provide an original, creative integration of abstract theories about maternal sexuality with research on attachment, mirroring and mentalization and on-the-ground observations of infantile sexuality. I was grateful for recognition of Stoller's contribution and for necessary, and too rare, discussions of the relations between sociology, sexology and psychoanalysis. - Nancy J Chodorow, PhD. Training and Supervising Analyst, Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.

"The book make a compelling argument for how psychoanalytic conepts such as mirroring and revisiting the Oedipal Complex could help us understand sexual variations (a term preferred by some sexologists to "perversions"), gender, and homosexuality... The current sexual climate requires a reevaluation of theories to explain human sexuality to keep pace with changes in issues such as gay and lesbian rights, sexual dysfunctions, and gender issues. Lemma and Lynch have managed to provide updated and integrative discussions on these issues. Lemma nad Lynch have managed to provide updated and integrative discussions on these issues. The book should be of interest to scholars interested in sexology, as well as to historians of psychology and clinicians." - Carlos Escoto, Eastern Connecticut State University, associate editor for Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research, in PsycCritiques

Descriere

Sexualities: Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspectives presents a broad selection of contemporary psychoanalytic thinking on sexuality from a wide range of psychoanalytic traditions. Sexuality remains at the heart of much psychoanalytic theory and practice but it is a complex and controversial subject. Edited byAlessandra Lemma and Paul E. Lynch, this volume includes a range of international contributions that examine contemporary issues and trace common themes needed to understand any sexuality, including the basics of sexuality, and the myriad ways in which sexuality is lived.
The clinical examples provided here demonstrate contemporary psychoanalytic techniques that uncover meanings that are both fresh and enlightening,and address heterosexuality, homosexuality, gender, and perversion from a psychoanalytic perspective. Divided into four parts, the book includes the following:
  • Historical context
  • Foundational concepts: Contemporary elaborations
  • Homosexuality
  • Perversion revisited
ThroughoutSexualities: Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspectivesthe reader will find psychoanalytic wisdom that is transferrable to work with patients of all sexualities, and will see that the essentials of sexuality may be more similar than they are different for homo- and hetero-sexuality. Psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as academics interested in the subjects of psychoanalysis, gender, sexuality, or homosexuality will find this book an invaluable resource.
