Abstract

SCARFONE, Dominique. The feminine, the analyst and the child theorist.Translated bySonia Augusto. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.2, pp.113-125. ISSN 0486-641X.

Freud, inventor of a revolutionary method of inquiry that overthrew many traditional views, nevertheless formulated a most conservative theory about femininity. Leaving Freud's personal equation aside, the author explores the intra-theoretical factors that may have driven him astray and warns against their persistence in today's psychoanalytical thinking.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; feminine; Freudian theory of femininity; infantile theory of sexuality.
