Attachment, Sexuality, Power

More about the book

Jerome C. Wakefield explores the intersection of attachment, sexuality, and power by reinterpreting Freud's case of Little Hans through Foucault's concept of 'power/knowledge.' This analysis critiques traditional Freudian psychoanalysis and reveals how Oedipal theory has influenced and reshaped intimate family dynamics. By highlighting these connections, Wakefield offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of familial relationships and the underlying power structures at play.
