Polymorphisms presents an overview of key theories, ideas and issues within psychoanalysis relating to sexual and gender diversity.The chapters consider key topics including the Oedipus-castration complex, the link between sexuality and gender, identity, and gender violence, while also addressing queer/transgender subjectivities, countertransference, and the implicit and explicit theories that shape clinical practice. Taking an intra and interdisciplinary approach, the collection considers ideas that enrich the clinical approach while highlighting contradictions and heterogeneities, and moving away from essentialisms. As a whole, the book delimits debates and questions rather than offering definitive answers, taking the perspective that psychoanalysis is a discipline in continuous interrogation of its own propositions.Polymorphisms: Sexual and Gender Migrations in Contemporary Psychoanalysis will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training. It will also be of interest to academics of psychoanalytic studies and gender studies.

Technomorphisms and the Posthuman Turn explores the profound intersections between psychoanalysis and posthumanism, shedding light on the evolving complexities of subjectivity in a hyper-technological world.This groundbreaking volume delves into the hybridization of the human, nature, and technology, examining how these intersections reshape notions of gender, sexuality, identity, and subjectivity. Through contributions from leading thinkers, the book addresses the ethical and theoretical challenges posed by posthumanism, including the rise of nomadic subjectivities, prosthetic bodies, and the dominance of digital culture. It critically investigates the impact of these transformations on psychoanalytic theory and practice, urging a re-evaluation of traditional epistemological frameworks. By fostering dialogue with other disciplines, the book seeks to deepen our understanding of unconventional subjectivities and the shifting itineraries of sexuality and gender in contemporary society.This book is an essential resource for psychoanalysts, scholars, and students interested in the intersections of psychoanalysis, gender studies, posthumanism, and technology. It is also invaluable for anyone seeking to understand the ethical and theoretical implications of living in a world where the boundaries of the human are constantly being redefined.
