The queering of relational psychoanalysis : who's topping whom? / Betsy Kassoff

B. Kassoff

The author argues that queer theory and relational psychoanalysis have influenced each other in significant ways. These include the designation of "queer" superceding the essential identity categories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender; multiple implications for gender and sexual orientation developmental theories; the necessity for the analyst to foreground countertransference issues in relation to gender; and a less defended relationship to erotic transferences and countertransferences.[Copies are available from: Haworth Document Delivery Center.
