Reviews
""It is apt that In this era of gender fluidity, Mou Sultana has written such an accessible and theoretically illuminating psychoanalytic work on the nature of psychosexual development. Her argument that the acquisition of sexuality is a phenomenon of the subject taking up a position (or not), as opposed to the idea of the subject being given his or her sexuality by nature, biology, anatomy, or society, is persuasive and so relevant at this time. Some readers may be put off by the title Castration Complex, as if it is an outdated concept. Don’t be. This is a book for our times. I highly recommend it.""-Prof Anthony McCarthy, former president and founder member, The College of Psychiatrists of Ireland.
