Book Announcement by Danielle Knafo (USA)

The sexual landscape has changed dramatically in the past few decades, with the meaning of gender and sexuality now being parsed within the realms of gender fluidity, nonheteronormative sexuality, BDSM and polyamory. The sea change in sexual attitudes has also made room for the mainstreaming of internet pornography and the use of virtual reality for sexual pleasure.

Knafo’s new title, The New Sexual Landscape and Contemporary Psychoanalysis, co-written with Rocco Lo Bosco for Confer Books, surveys modern sex culture and suggests ways psychoanalysis can update its theories and practice to meet the novel needs of today’s generations. This volume pays special attention to technology, which is augmenting and expanding sexual and gender possibilities. In addition, the authors consider the future of sexuality and bonding in this brave new world and how psychoanalysis is best suited to meet our future. The underlying message is that technology extends, radicalizes, and subverts traditional notions of body, self, mind, sexual enjoyment and human love. The time has come for our psychoanalytic healers to meet this postmodern challenge head on.
