About the Book

Making detailed use of case material, Marie Maguire sensitively examines contemporary psychoanalytic debates about sexuality from a feminist perspective. Looking at topics such as `false memories' of sexual abuse, homosexuality, pornography and bulimia, she shows how current psychoanalytic thinking is trammelled by sexist, homophobic and culturally-biased assumptions. She concludes that only when feminist insights about gender power relations have been truly integrated will the psychoanalytic project realise its full radical potential.
