Psychoanalysis and Homosexuality: A Contemporary Introduction

Author(s) : Leezah Hertzmann, Author(s) : Juliet Newbigin

Reviews and Endorsements

'If I were asked to recommend a text for an introductory course on human sexuality, Psychoanalysis and Homosexuality: A Contemporary Introduction would make the short list. In addition to learning about psychoanalysis’ sadly troubled history in this area, analytic candidates, graduate students and undergraduates will gain much from the authors’ contemporary theoretical and clinical insights about working with gay patients.'

'This inspiring book challenges the discipline of psychoanalysis to reflect on the heteronormative tendencies it has sometimes displayed whilst also affirming the potential value of psychoanalytic perspectives on desire and identity in addressing homophobia. Not always a comfortable read, but an essential and ultimately a hopeful one.'
Elizabeth Allison, DPhil, Director, UCL Psychoanalysis Unit
