Description - Disorienting Sexuality by Thomas Domenici
This is a collection of essays by mostly lesbian and gay psychoanalysts. Many of the papers were delivered at an important conference at New York University in December of 1993 called "Perspectives on Homosexuality: An Open Dialogue." Psychoanalysis has been relatively conservative in its treatment of homosexuality. Lately, the intervention of feminist theory has had an impact, and now the time has come for lesbian and gay theory to gain a hearing. The first section of this book consists of analysts seeking to have a voice in the reshaping of psychoanalytic theory about sexuality. Some critique theories in this area, and some consider the etiology of anti-homosexual bias within psychoanalysis, the purposes it serves and the potential harm it causes gay and lesbian patients. The second section presents different theoretical perspectives for understanding homosexuality and heterosexuality; and the third section comprises personal accounts by gay and lesbian analysts of anti-homosexual bias in psychoanalytic training and practice.
