He separates the feminine from gender, showing how historically misogynistic theories in psychoanalysis have potentially damaged the progress of the field, as well as female and male analysands alike. Depictions of the feminine are considered through their relationship with traumatic seduction, mourning and melancholy to address questions related to different clinical and psychopathological representations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing clinical vignettes throughout, this book\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019107795287,"sku":"9781032537375","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032537375.jpg?v=1750779328","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-psychoanalytic-approach-to-the-feminine-9781032537375","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
