Lesbians and Psychoanalysis Revolutions in Theory and Practice

Psychoanalytic theories of lesbian development epitomize the difficulty in liberating psychoanalysis from the past. Psychoanalytic theory has traditionally adopted a clear position that a lesbian orientation represented some form of psychological abnormality. Thankfully-- but only very recently-- some influential feminist leaders have begun to rethink issues of gender and sexual orientation, removing heterosexuality from its privileged position as normal.Glassgold, Judith M. is the author of 'Lesbians and Psychoanalysis Revolutions in Theory and Practice' with ISBN 9780743213127 and ISBN 0743213122.
