"Psychoanalysis and Women consists of 12 original essays with topics ranging from women's development in analytic theory to discussions of the gendered self, masochism, aging, professionalism, autonomy, lesbianism, and transference and countertransference as applied to the special gendered self of women. The book not only is enjoyable to read but should be carefulle studied."- Leslie Lothstein, American Journal of Psychiatry"This book achieves a full integration of psychoanalytic insights and covers a full range of developmental issues. By doing so, it sheds light on gender dynamics in life for both men and women and is appropriate reading for anyone looking for fresh and original understanding."- Joan Offerman, Readings"I have hight praise for the anthology. It should be required reading in all those institutes and postgraduate schools that train analysts. It is hoped that practicing analysts also will add this book to their professional libraries....In a word, this book is a gender expose that will change what we think about both men and women and their struggles in relationships."- Robert Seidenberg, Psychoanalytic Psychology
