{"product_id":"lesbians-and-psychoanalysis-revolutions-in-theory-and-practice","title":"LESBIANS AND PSYCHOANALYSIS: Revolutions in Theory and Practice","description":"Psychoanalytic theories of lesbian development epitomize the difficulty in liberating psychoanalysis from the past. Psychoanalytic theory has traditionally adopted a clear position that a lesbian orientation represented some form of psychological abnormality. Thankfully -- but only very recently -- some influential feminist leaders have begun to rethink issues of gender and sexual orientation, removing heterosexuality from its privileged position as normal.\nIn Lesbians and Psychoanalysis, Judith M. Glassgold and Suzanne Iasenza bring together twenty-six of these pioneers in the field of lesbian psychoanalytic theory. Through insightful chapters based on years of clinical experience, each author helps to redefine psychoanalytic theory by reinventing its foundations from an affirmative perspective so that it better represents all peoples.\nLesbians and Psychoanalysis addresses several topics of emerging concern including multicultural diversity, self-disclosure, homophobia, transference\/countertransference issues, bisexuality, and the changing nature of lesbian sexuality. In addition, the authors examine the influence of stigma on human development. In three sections -- Past, Present, and Future -- the authors in turn critique past theory, discuss current issues in therapy, and describe new directions in theory and practice. This is a book that is sure to appeal not only to members of the psychoanalytic community but also to all those who are interested in gay and lesbian studies, feminism, and psychology.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0028740068\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0028740068.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Iasenza, Suzanne|Glassgold, Judith M.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Missing dust cover, otherwise book is in good condition with some wear from normal use.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256509694013,"sku":"BVV.0028740068.G","price":12.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0028740068-0.jpg?v=1780782724","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/lesbians-and-psychoanalysis-revolutions-in-theory-and-practice","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
