First sentence: SUMMARY. The progress lesbians have made within psychoanalysis is in its infancy since the first wave of gay/lesbian affirmative literature began to surface in the early 1990s.
Description: "Lesbians, Feminism, and Psychoanalysis: The Second Wave examines recent changes in psychoanalysis that have opened the door for new perspectives on same-sex desire. Authors from a variety of disciplines and theoretical orientations combine feminism with psychoanalytic and postmodern theories to celebrate diversity in gender and sexual experience. This collection of lesbian-affirmative writings address transference and countertransference, gender subjectivities, privilege and racism, therapist homophobia, and violence in lesbian relationships."--BOOK JACKET.
