Text Psychoanalysis and Women (Book Review on The Psychology of Women: Psychoanalytic Perspectives, by Arnold Richards and Phyllis Tyson) This book compares Freuds theories with thencontemporary theories about the mind of women. Valuable history is contained in the pages of this book both the history of Freud and his relationships with women and the history of various theoretical trends in examining the psychology of women. Other topics include object choice in women, bisexuality, the meaning of perineal activity, and genital anxiety. More than 24 analysts contributed to the 20 chapters in the book; most of the contributors are from the US, but the book also includes 2 chapters from British training analysts associated with the British Psychoanalytical Society. This volume reflects a relatively homogeneous perspective about certain women. It describes women who are troubled with conflicts about desire, where desire is misunderstood as dangerous. Which women are described? Janice Lieberman answers this question in her commentary on the art chosen to illustrate in 6 sections of the bookFreud and the Feminine, The Theory of the Psychology of Women, The Body in the Psychology of Women, Motherhood, The Psychology of Homosexuality, and Women and Training and Research. Lieberman states, These art works for the most part show women still in conflict at fin de si(cle, not completely resolved as to the acceptance of their bodies or roles. It is these troubled women whom the authors describe in their clinical observations. What is the perspective of the authors? Their predominant psychoanalytic perspective presents women as having primary feminity, that is, female development proceeds along lines that generate anxiety [called female genital anxiety] about damage and loss similar to the fear of castration that troubles males. Disappointing is the fact that this perspective and the re-formulations and more innovative new formulations of Freuds major theories of female psychology recapitulate Freuds basic misunderstanding of desire. In other words, the authors know that Freuds psychology of women is inaccurate, and they argue against Freuds perspective. However, their contributions do not further the readers understanding of the psychology of women. Instead, they perpetuate old views by applying Freuds misunderstanding to troubled women. Freuds misunderstanding of desire, for example, is expressed in his conceptualisation of the Oedipus complex: Freud proposed that a soon at the age of 3 to 5 years passionately desires his mother and views his father as a competitor. Out of his own innate aggression, Freuds theory continues: the son wishes to destroy his father. When the son recognises that his fathers superior strength could turn against him, he suffers the castration anxiety. This anxiety, according to Freud, causes the child to give up his desire for his mother, to reconstruct his desire as dangerous, and finally to identify with his fathers aggression. An alternative interpretation, one emerging from an understanding of attachment behaviours and from early mother-infant observation research, is that the son reaches out in innocence to his mother, loving out of his own nature the one that his father also happens to love. The son has neither sexual desire for his mother nor murderous rage for his father. [] Applying the alternative interpretation of desire to the daughter, the daughter reaches out in innocence to her mother, loving out of her own nature the one whom her father loves. Furthermore, she reaches out in innocence to her father, loving out of her own nature the one whom her mother loves. In initial attunement, both identification and affection are united and focused on the primary caregivers regardless of the gender of the caregivers or the infant Undifferentiated experiences within the caregivers/infants attunement are experienced as physical or bodily events and thus are internalised without awareness of separateness or conflict and are maintained with a strong sense of security. If the daughters tenderness is fostered, she will strengthen her identification with mother and her bond of affection with father. In differentiation after 18 months of age, boys retain affection for the first caregiver (mother) but shift identification to the father. Girls retain identification with the first caregiver but shift affectional ties to the father. The shifted function, whether it is the shift of identification or the shift or affection, must rely on mental images. Mental images are developed with greater awareness of separateness between the child and the parent The function (identification or affection) that is shifted becomes more highly invested and more vulnerable to shame because it is experienced as less secure than the earlier state where the functions were fused and experienced without awareness of emotional separateness. Although the child gives up a degree of emotional security, differentiation and the shift of function increase psychological autonomy For girls, then, gender identity occurs through the integration of ongoing identification with mother. For boys, gender identity is established as being different from mother.
