Freudian Tales by J Sayers

A psychotherapist describes through some fascinating and disturbing case studies, the powerful effect that ideas of 'manhood' can have on us all. why do we cling so strongly to ideas of 'manhood'? What harm do these images do to these images do to us, and how can we heal it? This dynamic book turns the spotlight on the dangerous ways that people absorb and cling to images of maleness. Through a series of individual case studies, therapist janet sayers looks at a series of fixations from 'virgin birth' to 'Don Juan', and shows how people act out different stereotypes - the wimp, tough guy, pervert, tomboy. These modern tales look again at Freud's theories on patriarchy, exactly a century later, and present an urgent plea for transforming psychology and therapy from its recent focus on the mother, to a renewed awareness of the father.
