The Desire and Passion for a Child
In this book, Patricia Alkolombre explores the desire for a child from a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective, and covers the questions raised in the face of new resources offered by reproductive medicine. This volume reviews traditional psychoanalytic conceptualisations from the perspective of gender theories and analyses theoretical hegemonies related to the desire and passion for a child. Alkolombre discusses how the ‘passion to have a child’ is a key aspect of motherhood, characterised by emotional intensity, persistence, and self-sacrificial aspects. The book is divided into three sections: Part One deals with the desire and passion to have a child, while Part Two focuses on the ...
Psychoanalytic Explorations of What Women Want Today
In this book, international psychoanalytic writers address the question ‘What do Women Want Today?’ from a variety of lenses, bringing into focus the creative, resilient forces shown by women in their multiple social and psychological tasks. The book reviews classic psychoanalytic theories about the feminine within a new cultural context. It challenges hegemonic gender prejudices and discusses new conceptions that do not pathologize ‘different’ lifestyles and family configurations. With chapters by leading, international thinkers in the field, this book explores how to think about new feminine scenarios, gender identities, gender dynamics, motherhood, and desire, in light of modern p...
Independent Women in British Psychoanalysis
Independent Women in British Psychoanalysis celebrates the lives and work of female psychoanalysts whose significant contributions to the Independent Tradition have hitherto been overshadowed by their male counterparts. The contributors in this volume look at seven female psychoanalysts who broke new ground with their contributions to theory and practice: Ella Freemen Sharpe, Marjorie Brierley, Paula Heimann, Marion Milner, Enid Balint, Nina Coltart and Pearl King. The chapters tell the individual stories of these psychoanalysts alongside their theories, showing how their personal lives embody and illustrate the essential universal developmental task of becoming oneself and finding one’s own voice. The themes across the chapters include infant and child development with (m)other, trauma, constructive use of aggression, creativity, a theory of clinical technique, and independence of mind in a social world. This book will be of interest and relevance to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, developmental psychologists, sociologists, group analysts and historians of psychoanalysis, as well as those interested in feminism and women’s position in society.
Pregnancy, Assisted Reproduction and Psychoanalysis
Pregnancy, Assisted Reproduction, and Psychoanalysis reflects on contemporary views on pregnancy, while offering guidance on how to work with women and couples experiencing infertility as well as the unique issues raised by having a child through assisted reproduction technologies. Comprised of chapters written by eminent analysts working with infertile couples and women, and parents who have a child born from assisted reproduction, this book offers insightful ways to better understand the challenges these patients undertake and the various issues this might bring into the analytic room. The contributors examine the myriad psychic problems subjects are confronted with which could impact thei...
Changing Sexualities and Parental Functions in the Twenty-First Century
Recent societal changes have challenged long-established concepts in psychoanalysis, including the Oedipus complex, parental functions, and male and female psychosexuality. 'Postmodern families', based on sexual and emotional exchanges independent of gender, now include homoerotic couples who adopt children, or who create them through assisted fertilisation, as well as single parent families and blended families. A number of highly-renowned Latin American psychoanalysts have drawn attention to the urgency of revising theoretical and clinical concepts in the light of these new scenarios. In this book, they open up ideas which cover familiar territory of current concerns in psychoanalytic work, as well as other little-explored areas, with the emphasis on evolving sexualities and new experiences of parenthood. The first section revisits psychoanalytic theories, particularly parental functions in the area of sexuality and gender. The following section discusses new family configurations, and vicissitudes of the desire to have a child in men and women, with the authors presenting some psychic consequences for parents in therapy who have turned to assisted fertilisation.
Psicoanálisis y género en diálogo
La pregunta que Freud se hacía en 1933 –qué quieren las mujeres– estimuló que se contestara que la ideología patriarcal era el obstáculo para hallar fácilmente la respuesta: la mujer no quiere nada distinto de lo que quiere un hombre. Cuando, en realidad, la reivindicación de igualdad debe tener en cuenta justamente algo bien diferente, que es la ausencia y desconocimiento de la especificidad femenina, algo sobre lo que aún estamos trabajando. Emilce Dio Bleichmar [Asociación Psicoanalítica Argentina - IPA] Es necesario recordar que desde fines del siglo XIX, se está actualizando cada vez más una problemática que existe desde muy antiguo, pero que está en vías de deconstru...
Mariam Alizade
Esta obra reúne las ideas centrales que Mariam Alizade desarrolló desde su fecundo e innovador pensamiento psicoanalítico acerca de la femineidad, la clínica con la muerte, el narcisismo terciario y una nueva concepción sobre el complejo de Edipo en la mujer. Es un libro que nos invita a revisitar sus ideas a la luz de la crisis actual en la cual está presente, entre otros temas, el protagonismo de los movimientos de mujeres emergentes como son #niunamenos y “metoo”, en los comienzos de este siglo XXI. Patricia Alkolombre (Presidenta del Comité Mujeres y Psicoanálisis de la IPA) Hoy más que nunca, cuando nos encontramos irremediablemente coexistiendo con la incertidumbre de la e...
Poder, género y amor Vol. 2
En años recientes, el estallido de cientos de miles de denuncias, casi en su totalidad de mujeres, acerca de acoso ha generado una amplia y necesaria conciencia sobre la extensión y gravedad de las variadas formas de abuso y violencia que este implica. El panorama esbozado es desolador: desde violaciones hasta manoseos; desde amenazas de despido a condicionamiento de la permanencia en el trabajo a cambio de “favores sexuales”. Las denuncias han sido un potente indicador del dolor, la indignación y el hartazgo por los episodios agresivos o humillantes que han padecido –y siguen padeciendo– muchísimas mujeres. El acoso sexual ocurre en una variedad de situaciones cotidianas: insinu...
Poder, género y amor 1
Nuestro objetivo en esta oportunidad es reflexionar juntos acerca de lo que nosotros, como psicoanalistas,sabemos sobre el género, con referencia específica a la historia del patriarcado y al problema de la dominación y la violencia masculinas; cómo estos fenómenos se manifiestan y afectan actualmente a nuestra vida social y cultural, y a su vez a nuestra psique individual. En pocas palabras, nos preocupa el daño, el sufrimiento que se inflige psíquicamente, pero que a menudo no se produce en el ámbito de la fantasía, sino en la dura realidad física del asesinato, la violencia, la violación, así como otras formas de daño menos violentos y aún más extendidos y generalizados. Vo...
Post-patriarchal, Post-heteronormative, and Postcolonial Psychoanalysis
Post-patriarchal, Post-heteronormative, and Postcolonial Psychoanalysis considers contemporary efforts to create a post-patriarchal, post-heteronormative, and postcolonial psychoanalytic approach to human suffering. Débora Tajer examines contemporary psychoanalysis and its future by integrating three key strands of Argentinean cultural discourse: the popularity of psychoanalysis, the active feminist movement, and the burgeoning field of feminist psychoanalysis. Tajer delves into themes of subjectivity, power, gender, and family, revealing the patriarchal, heteronormative, and colonial underpinnings of classical psychoanalytical approaches. She also explores the contributions of theoretical-...
