Geneviève Morel, "Sexual Ambiguities"
Ka..ac B..ks | 2012-06 | ISBN: 185575584X | 256 pages | PDF | 1 MB
How does one become a man or a woman? Psychoanalysis shows that this is
never an easy task and that each of us tackles it in our own, unique
way. In this important and original study, Genevieve Morel focuses on
what analytic work with psychotic subjects can teach us about the
different solutions human beings can construct to the question of sexual
identity.
Through a careful exposition of Lacanian theory, Morel argues that
classical gender theory is misguided in its notion of gender identity
and that Lacan's concept of sexuation is more precise. Clinical case
studies illustrate how sexuation occurs and the ambiguities that may
surround it. In psychosis, these ambiguities are often central, and
Morel explores how they may or may not be resolved thanks to the
individual's own constructions. This book is not only a major
contribution to gender studies but also an invaluable aid to the
clinician dealing with questions of sexual identity.
