Description

In this book a group of contemporary psychoanalytic authors dedicated to studies on women and the feminine have been assembled with the objective of displaying points of concordance and discordance in relation to Freudian proposals.

Discourse on women has changed greatly since Freud's time.

It coincides with deep changes experienced by women and the feminine position, at least in most of the Western world.

It is common knowledge that contraceptives, assisted fertilization, advances in women's rights, growingly evident sublimational capacities and demonstrations of professional success have definitely changed ideas regarding an eternal and immutable feminine nature.

The authors are interested in illuminating ways in which these changes have or have not influenced psychoanalytic debate in relation to the feminine.

This implies renewing the question of what is authentically feminine and whether there is any essential truth concerning the feminine.
