Other Pr Llc

A reprint of a translation of a work first published in 1951 ( Maternidad y Sexo ) by Marie Langer (1910-1987), a prominent Viennese-born psychoanalyst who emigrated to Latin America prior to WWII. She discusses theoretical psychoanalytic issues and presents clinical cases within the context of a (by now somewhat dated) analysis of the economic, political, and cultural forces that shape women's unconscious life.
