In her latest book  Individualizing Gender and Sexuality  she examines the complexity and uniqueness of each persons personal creation of sexuality and gender and the ways that these interrelate with other aspects of psychic and cultural life. She brings her well-known theoretical agility  wide-ranging interdisciplinarity  and clinical experience to every chapter  advocating for the clinicians openness  curiosity  and theoretical pluralism. The book begins with reflections on Freuds Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality  followed by considerations of Melanie Klein and Stephen Mitchell  as well as on her own work and on the postmodern turn in psychoanalytic gender theory. Subsequent chapters address contemporary clinical-cultural issues such as women and work  women and motherhood  and men and violence. Concluding chapters elaborate on the multiple ingredients and the personal affective  conflictual  and defensive constellations and processes that create sexuality and gender in each individual. Ending with a chapter on homosexualities as compromise formations  Chodorow deepens her account of clinical individuality and sex-gender transference-countertransference while bringing her readers back to Freud and to the many strands that followed  as she consolidates a consistent line of interest in sexuality and gender  theory and practice  sustained over a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67687246987317,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415893585","price":55.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415893589.jpg?v=1792138684","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/individualizing-gender-and-sexuality-relational-perspectives-book-series-9780415893589","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
