Female images. Clinical and psychopathological approach. Maidi U.

What does "be a woman?" What does a woman want? What is the nature of femininity? When answering these questions, the author of the book, the French psychoanalyst Uari Maidi, is based on the concept of mental bisexuality introduced by Freud. Femininism is understood by him as a theoretical and clinical concept representing the type of mental functioning, in which the dominant role is given to negative narcissism, weakness and catastrophism. The femininity and some of its images are studied in a close relationship with the most significant topics, such as traumatic seduction, narcissism, masochism, depression, grief and melancholy, protective function of a hypochondriacal and paranoid organization.
