Reviews

In this paradigm-shifting volume, D'Ercole and Drescher lift same-sex couples and families out of the margins and into the center of discourse about intimacy and domesticity. All of us who want to make commitments, raise children, love passionately, and be socially respected for those intentions will find practical wisdom and scholarly erudition in these pages. - Virginia Goldner, Ph.D., Founding Editor, Studies in Gender and Sexuality Only recently has psychoanalysis been forced to come to terms with its century-long history of pathologizing and mistreating gays and lesbians. What a marvel it is to have reached a new disciplinary milestone with the publication of Uncoupling Convention. In this significant collection, D'Ercole and Drescher assemble clinicians who share an affirmative psychoanalytic sensibility to dynamic work with gay and lesbian individuals and with same-sex couples and families. These essays are fresh, challenging, and provocative; they embody a new psychoanalytic discourse sensitive to the multiply varied configurations and practical social contexts of the postmodern family. - Lewis Aron, Ph.D., Director, NYU PostDoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
