Reviews
""As analysts, our observations and listening are affected by our ideology. It is our ethical obligation to always monitor our countertransference in order to detect points of our own resistance. The latter obstructs the acceptance of changes, in every sense. The resistance, which supports prejudices about the feminine, is attached to deeply ingrained notions about gender and the desire for motherhood. These prejudices resist new modes of parenting, the radical changes in the notion of filiation brought about by advances in reproductive technology, and the place of women and the feminine in society. Now, the time has come to rethink the role of the analyst’s prejudices and preconceptions, be it male or female. We can no longer think of the patient or analyst in isolation from each other. Instead, patient and analyst coexist in a culture, which is influenced by each era’s hegemonic codes. This book is very timely and I would encourage all analysts to read and think about it. It provides impetus for debates that cannot be delayed. It also represents another link in the tireless work that the Committee of Women and Psychoanalysis of the IPA (COWAP) has been doing since 1998."" --Virginia Ungar, M.D., IPA President
