Description
This dictionary charts the intersection of feminism and psychoanalysis via a number of domains which establish cross references for the main themes. It investigates the connection perceived by feminists between psychoanalysis and what they refer to as phallocentrism and to questions of gender definition. It also explores ways in which women have exploited psychoanalytic arguments and practices for their own ends. Psychoanalysis and feminism are also examined in the context of other intellectual movements, such as modern literary criticism.

Description
Feminism and Psychoanalysis: A Critical Dictionary is of major interest to those who are aware of the breadth of its two component areas, and wish to explore the common ground between them more intensively.
Entries deal with concepts from and significant figures in psychoanalysis, issues of sexual politics that intersect with psychoanalysis, feminist aesthetics and criticism which both use and challenge psychoanalytic thought. Each entry concludes with a short, carefully selected list of further reading.
