She expands on the ideas presented in her previous book edited work, \u003ci\u003ePsychic Bisexuality: a British-French Dialogue\u003c\/i\u003e. The authorâs approach brings back into focus Freudâs idea that one is not born already made as a man or woman, but one is constituted as such in the process of development. Freudâs theoretical writing on bisexuality is examined, returning us firmly to infantile sexuality and the Oedipus complex and the repudiation of femininity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerelberg draws on her past training as a social anthropologist to propose and explore the differentiation between sex, gender, and sexuality. She considers post-war academic work in gender and womenâs studies and queer theory, arguing that the object of psychoanalysis is not gender but sexuality, which establishes a link between the sexual and the unconscious. She suggests that the unconscious permanently challenges our apparent unity as subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSexuality, Excess and Representation will be of great interest to all practicing psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This superb psychoanalytic book evidences the rigour of Freudian metapsychology, its expression in contemporary clinical practice, and the theoretical developments that it inspires. The chapters attest to the implications of taking into account the movement of the drives, of love and hate, life and death: the sexual is always there, in its most archaic or elaborated forms. However, the negative is also present and active in the author’s elaborations. A profound knowledge of the Freudian oeuvre and a creative reading of his work are expressed in the depths of a remarkable clinical experience exposed by Perelberg in such a masterful and subtle way. There is no doubt: this is a psychoanalyst who is alive and vibrant – alive in the construction of her concepts and her method, anchored in the original foundations, and yet open to further contributions.
