Changing Sexualities and Parental Functions in the Twenty-First Century, Se Holovko, Candida

The clinical examples provided here demonstrate contemporary psychoanalytic techniques that uncover meanings that are both fresh　and　enlightening, 　and address heterosexuality, homosexuality,　gender,　and perversion　from a psychoanalytic perspective. Divided into four parts,　the book includes the following:

Historical context

Foundational concepts: Contemporary elaborations

Homosexuality

Perversion revisited

Throughout　Sexualities: Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspectives　the reader will find psychoanalytic wisdom that is transferrable to work with patients of all sexualities, and will see that the essentials of sexuality may be more similar than they are different for homo- and hetero-sexuality. 　Psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as academics interested in the　subjects　of psychoanalysis, gender, sexuality, or homosexuality will find this book an invaluable resource.
