Gender, Identifications, and Identities considers the increasing visibility of sexual and gender diversity and reflects on how this is felt within psychoanalysis.

The international contributors focus on identifications, gender, and identity, including gender and sexuality in psychic development, as well as the link between identifications, body, and gender. The book also considers how gender fluidity can be a challenge for approaching the coexistence of different states of the self, as well as transference-countertransference experiences and implications, working through and implications for theory and technique. It offers an opportunity to air conflicting psychoanalytic views and rethink established concepts.

Gender, Identifications, and Identities will be key reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training. It will also be of interest to academics of psychoanalytic studies and gender studies.
