Other Women

How can contemporary psychoanalysis be used to understand the sexuality and experiences of bisexual or lesbian women without marginalizing them? Burch explores how lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual women's experiences may be incorporated into psychoanalytic theory, arguing convincingly that the dynamics of lesbian and bisexual relationships are part of women's development and desires, rather than dysfunctions of them.

In reassessing traditional psychoanalysis, this text fromulates new theories for evaluating women's sexuality. The author argues that the dynamics of lesbian and bisexual relationships are "part" of women's development and desires rather than "dysfunctions".-- Dr. April Martin, author of The Lesbian and Gay Parenting Handbook
