Description
Rethinking the Psychoanalysis of Masculinity From Toxic to Seminal by Karl Figlio explores how toxic masculinity has become a widespread concern in daily life, influencing everything from nature and society to personal relationships. This concept has gained significant attention in recent years, with aggressive and misogynistic forms of masculinity being highlighted in popular culture and media. Figlio delves into the roots of this toxicity, revealing a deeper anxiety about harm and destructiveness that pervades our lives. By examining the underlying fears around fertility and the seminal, he sheds light on a more positive alternative for masculinity. This book is essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, and cultural and social theorists interested in exploring concepts of masculinity. With a strong research base, Figlio's work offers a nuanced understanding of toxic masculinity and its impact on individuals and society.
