“Contemporary psychoanalysts are keen explorers of the new, intrigued by what in some ways is still waiting to be understood; they are well documented and also on average freer of prejudice than other professional categories involved in the field; finally, their research is also often creative. This is demonstrated by this splendid volume ‘Polymorphisms’, which originated as part of the ‘Sexual and Gender Diversity Studies Committee’ of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and which offers a broad, advanced and kaleidoscopic psychoanalytic view on one of the most vibrantly debated topics in today's culture.” - Stefano Bolognini; Past-President IPA“This book, updated and expanded, is a product of the First Latin American Dialogue organized by the IPA's Committee on Sexual Diversity and Gender Studies in November 2019 in Buenos Aires, is a significant contribution to the ongoing debates. It focuses on the psychoanalytic vision of sexual and gender diversity, a topic of utmost importance in the current circumstances. This publication is a key piece, actively engaging us in the necessary debates in these uncertain times.” - Virginia Ungar; IPA Former President (2017-2021)
