Lesbian psychoanalytic foremothers making waves : interviews with Joanne Spina, Lee Crespi and Judy Levitz

S. Iasenza

The progress lesbians have made within psychoanalysis is in its infancy since the first wave of gay/lesbian affirmative literature began to surface in the early 1990s. The author stresses the need to document the history of the development of this long overdue movement. Three lesbian psychoanalytic foremothers are interviewed who offer glimpses into the psychoanalytic community from the early 1970s to the present giving us a deeper understanding of courageous acts that helped create gay and lesbian affirmative space within psychoanalysis.[Copies are available from: Haworth Document Delivery Center.
