Lacanian Psychoanalysis and French Feminism: Toward an Adequate Political Psychology∗
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 March 2020
Abstract
This paper examines some French feminist uses of Lacanian psychoanalysis. I focus on two Lacanian influenced accounts of psychological oppression, the first by Luce Irigaray and the second by Julia Kristeva, and I argue that these accounts fail to meet criteria for an adequate political psychology.
