Towards a Feminist Psychoanalysis
Publisher Seuil
COLLECTION La Couleur des Idées
What would psychoanalysis be like if it addressed contemporary feminist questions?

Psychoanalysis cannot remain unchanged in the face of #MeToo and feminism's fourth wave. It must in fact start from scratch, examining from all angles many concepts fundamental to its practice, and transform it. In this inventive and convincing book, Lippi and Maniglier deliver their convictions in the tone of a manifesto. For it does seem that psychoanalysis has sealed itself off in a heteropatriarchal order, of which insistence on the father figure—relative in Freud, then absolute in Lacan—is an indisputable sign. Guided by a reading of Valerie Solanas’ 1967 SCUM Manifesto, once more a reference point for feminists, the authors endeavor to establish a psychoanalysis that thinks about women from their own point of view.
