Identity Gender and Sexuality

<p>'While Freud opened the door on the formative and motivating power of sexuality contemporary psychoanalysts with some notable exceptions have consigned sexuality to the psychoanalytic closet. This book not only re-opens the door on the broad subject of psychosexuality but also provides fresh insights into heterosexuality bisexuality homosexuality gender identity disorder transvestism and transsexualism. This publication brings together some of the leading psychoanalytic authorities from around the globe to consider in depth the complex interweaving of identity gender and sexuality from theoretical clinical historical and research perspectives. The author strongly recommends <em>Identity Gender and Sexuality</em> to those looking for a book that does not pull punches. The reader will find a debate about the relative merits of clinical empirical and conceptual research critical assessments of interdisciplinary findings from infant and child development research embodied cognitive science academic psychology neurobiology genetics ethology and other fields of inquiry and honest and illuminating psychoanalytic case studies. - Donald Campbell</p>
