Description - The Annual of Psychoanalysis by Jerome A. Winer
This work is an overview of contemporary approaches to the study of sexual orientation within psychoanalysis that highlights issues salient to clinical work with lesbian and gay patients. It covers the complex interplay between history and the understanding of desire, and sets the stage for interpretive commentaries framed by psychoanalytic history. Schafer and Bergman each reflect on the changing understanding of homosexuality within contemporary psychoanalysis. Jack Drescher explores the treatment implications of contemporary understandings of sexual orientation, and Richard Friedman illuminates the foundational childhood experiences that lead a person to think of him- or herself as gay or lesbian. A section on "Changing Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Homosexuality" presents Roughton's "Two Analyses of a Gay Man", which explores Roughton's divergent clinical perspective on same-gender desire separated by a decade of social and political change. The two concluding sections of the work explore the implications of a clinical psychoanalytic perspective for the study of gay and lesbian lives.
