Launch of the Book
Post-patriarchal, Post-heteronormative and Poscolonial Psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalysis for all. (Routledge, 2024)
By Débora Tajer
Psychoanalyst based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is Professor of Public
Health and Gender Studies at the University of Buenos Aires.
About the book
It considers contemporary efforts to create a post-patriarchal, post-
heteronormative, and postcolonial psychoanalytic approach to human suffering.
Débora Tajer examines contemporary psychoanalysis and its future by integrating
three key strands of Argentinean cultural discourse: the popularity of
psychoanalysis, the active feminist movement, and the burgeoning field of feminist
psychoanalysis. Tajer delves into themes of subjectivity, power, gender, and family,
revealing the patriarchal, heteronormative, and colonial underpinnings of classical
psychoanalytical approaches. She also explores the contributions of theoretical-
clinical instruments from a gender and psychoanalytical perspective. Throughout
the book, Tajer highlights changes in femininities and masculinities, new family and
relationship configurations, current forms of labour insertion, evolving ideals, and
new modes of gender identity assumption and sexual expression.
Post-patriarchal, Post-heteronormative, and Postcolonial Psychoanalysis will be of
great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training. It will also appeal to
readers looking to understand Argentinian perspectives on the future of
psychoanalysis
