| Extra Info | : | This year's GCP Annual Lecture will explore Misogyny in Psychoanalytic Discourse with Michaela Chamberlain In psychoanalysis misogyny hides in plain sight. It is commonplace in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic literature and case studies for a description of the, usually female, analysand's attractiveness to be given as a diagnosis rather than an opinion, for the word 'feminine' to be used as a synonym for submission, for psychosexual development to miss the glaringly obviously important stage of menstruation, for a child's development to be modelled on the theory of male psychosexual development as described by Freud, for women to still be described in terms of their loss of not having a penis but gaining a baby – not a vagina, and for the fundamental experiences of pregnancy and birth to continue to be bypassed. Ironically, for a field whose main currency is reflection, the institutionally-misogynistic treatment of women is both pervasive and overlooked, with implications for all talking therapies and the clinical experience. |
