Gender and Envy cover

The first volume of its kind, this edited collection brings together classic texts in the history of psychoanalysis and developing theory to examine gender and envy. Bringing to light the ways in which our preoccupation with the Freudian concept of penis envy has both revealed and obscured fundamental psychological insights, the essays also form bridges across many disciplines and schools of psychological thought. From foundational works by Freud, Klein, and Horney to the current scholarship of Fast, Torok and Friedman, Gender and Envy brings together a library of critical thinking on the ongoing discussion of envy, gender and psychoanalysis.

"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 TheSpectrum of Psychoanalysis
