Description

A Psychoanalytic Approach to the Feminine by Houari Maïdi explores the concepts and characteristics of femininity in both males and females, challenging traditional psychoanalytic theories that have historically been misogynistic. By separating the feminine from gender identity, Maïdi provides a fresh perspective on pathologies such as masochism, narcissism, depression, and paranoia. This book delves into the relationship between traumatic seduction, mourning, and melancholy to address questions related to clinical and psychopathological representations of femininity. Through clinical vignettes, Maïdi offers insights that are essential reading for psychoanalysts and those interested in the intersection of gender and analysis. By redressing the way traditional psychoanalysis considers sexual characteristics, Maïdi's work aims to promote a more nuanced understanding of the feminine and its impact on individuals and society.
