Juliet Mitchell challenges the prevailing feminist rejection of Freud — as championed by writers such as Betty Friedan, Kate Millett, and Shulamith Firestone — by returning to the original texts of Freud, Reich, Laing, and Lacan and subjecting them to careful, critical analysis. She argues that psychoanalysis does not prescribe a social order but rather describes the way in which patriarchal ideology is reproduced in the unconscious, making it a powerful diagnostic framework rather than an enemy. Written with intellectual precision and polemical force, this text remains a foundational reference point at the intersection of psychoanalytic theory, feminist politics, and the broader project of understanding gender and sexuality in modern Western culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893811392731,"sku":"2026200009197-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/02471c00-1ed8-451c-a502-210140b08d4d.png?v=1782040566","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009197-secondhand-psychoanalysis-and-feminism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
