Description - Disorienting Sexuality by Thomas Domenici
This book brings the methods and critiques of feminism, gay and lesbian scholarship and postmodernism to bear on psychoanalytic theories of sexuality. This collection of papers exposes the biases against gay men and lesbians in psychoanalytic theory and practice, examines the clinical implications of these biases, deconstructs psychoanalytic theory of both homosexuality and heterosexuality and offers new directions for theory. In the introduction, Domenici and Lesser draw a brief history of anti-homosexual sentiment in psychoanalysis, ending with a call to psychoanalysis to revitalize itself as a mode of treatment. The book then moves into essays written by lesbian and gay psychoanalysts seeking to have a voice in the reshaping of psychoanalytic theories of sexuality. Some critique the theory behind anti-homosexuality and others consider the role this bias plays as well as the harm it does gay and lesbian patients. New theoretical and clinical approaches that are responsive to the needs of gay and lesbian patients are proposed.
