Reviews

“I strongly recommend Deconstructing the Feminine to all readers interested in psychoanalytic studies, gender studies, interdisciplinary perspectives, human cycle development and to therapists who deal, in their practice, with both women and men, their multiple itineraries of desire, gender questions and their interactions.” - Cláudio Laks Eizirik, Former President of the IPA “This expanded and updated second edition of Leticia Glocer Fiorini's book is very timely. It revisits the notion of the feminine and rethinks her proposals from the first edition, in the context of the changes that occurr in current subjectivities. It focuses on the questioning of binarisms and on gender migrations, gender violence, changes in family configurations, and the impact of technology. This important contribution sheds light on the feminine from a psychoanalytic perspective on singular and collective practices. It makes its reading not only recommendable but also essential in our times.” - Virginia Ungar, Buenos Aires Psychoanalytic Association, IPA Past President.
