Add your own review!

Overview

This collection brings together classic and developing psychoanalytic theory to examine gender and envy. The essays include foundational works by Freud, Klein, and Horney through to the current scholarship of Irigaray, Torok and Chasseguet-Simirgel. It aims to show how preoccupation with the Freudian concept of penis envy has both revealed and obscured fundamental psychological insights.

Reviews

Nancy Burke has brought psychoanalytic ideas into the present with a rich and rewarding collection. Her organization of the chapters fosters enhanced understanding of the complex issue of relations between men and women in psychological development and social life. This classic volume should be part of the library of professional and student alike. -- Betram J. Cohler, Professor of Psychology, University of Chicago Gender and Envy is an exciting book. By constantly crossing the border between clinical psychoanalysis and theory of literature, Nancy Burke builds a road between two bodies of literature and between two groups of thinkers in the question of what makes psychological humanity possible. I recommend its use as a text in psychoanalytic training and as a reader for experienced clinicians. -- Arlene Kramer Richards, author of The Spectrum of Psychoanalysis
