Gender and Envy

Nancy Burke is Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Northwestern University Medical School, a Staff Psychologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and a private practitioner in Chicago.

"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
