Book Announcement by Leezah Hertzmann<\/strong> (UK) and Juliet Newbigin<\/strong> (UK)<\/p>\n

\"\"Authors Leezah Hertzmann and Juliet Newbigin examine the ways in which same sex desire, or \u2018homosexuality,\u2019 has been theorized by psychoanalysis during its history to date. They explore a history of the developing social attitudes which influenced the evolution of psychoanalysis, from Freud\u2019s radical questioning of psychosexuality to later developments that assumed a moral high-ground for heteronormativity and led to the diagnosis of other forms of sexual expression as perversions requiring treatment. The book describes how the heteronormative bias took over psychoanalytic theory and practice, relegating lived sexual experience to the sidelines. The authors challenge this misconception by describing recent developments in psychoanalytic thinking and showing their impact on clinical practice.<\/p>\n

By approaching \u2018homosexuality\u2019 from a contemporary post-heteronormative position, Psychoanalysis and Homosexuality: A Contemporary Introduction<\/em> (Routledge) advocates a more flexible encounter in the consulting room in a way that illuminates an understanding of all sexualities, including heterosexuality. The authors discuss current challenges that clinicians face and, using clinical vignettes, explore the dilemmas that these challenges present, both for qualified practitioners as well as those in training.<\/p>\n

Juliet Newbigin <\/strong>is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with a long-standing interest in the impact of the wider social context on the development of individual identity within the family. She has been particularly concerned about the troubled history of the heteronormative understanding of sexual orientation in both psychoanalysis and Jungian analysis, and their failure to recognise the experience of the LGBTQI community. She has twice received the BPC\u2019s Bernard Rattigan Award for Psychoanalysis and Diversity, in 2015, with Frank Lowe, and 2019, with Leezah Hertzmann. She currently chairs the BPC Advisory Committee on Sexual and Gender Diversity.<\/p>\n
