Description

Misogyny in Psychoanalysis explores how a fundamental aspect of psychoanalytic thought has been overlooked for far too long. This collection of essays delves into the ways in which misogyny is embedded in the practice of psychoanalysis, from the language used to describe female clients to the omission of key life experiences.

The author's extensive experience as a trainee, supervisee, student, teacher, and practitioner shines through in this thought-provoking work. Through five essays, Chamberlain invites readers to consider the impact of institutionalised misogyny on the treatment of women and the practice of psychoanalysis as a whole.

By examining these issues, Misogyny in Psychoanalysis sheds light on what is at risk for the practice of psychotherapy and those seeking help when such biases go unchallenged. A valuable contribution to the field of psychology, this book offers a necessary conversation about the need for greater inclusivity and awareness.
