Psychoanalysis and Feminism

A Radical Reassessment of Freudian Psychoanalysis

Beschreibung

Psychoanalysis and Feminism is a profound and groundbreaking challenge to the entrenched belief that Freud was the enemy. Rather, Mitchell argued that a rejection of psychoanalysis as bourgeois and patriarchal was fatal for feminism. However, it may have been used, she pointed out, psychoanalysis is not a recommendation for a patriarchal society, but rather an analysis of one.

Original and provocative, this book remains an essential component of the feminist canon and a radical re-evaluation of psychoanalytic theory.

Rezensionen

`For me personally, and for many others I know, Juliet Mitchell's Psychoanalysis and Feminism was a game changer, for the brilliance with which it made the case for Freud's writing as an indispensable part of feminist thought. At a time when the question of how to understand human sexuality is being so hotly debated, Mitchell's intervention could not be more pertinent today.' Jacqueline Rose
