Exploring alternative territories in Freud's oeuvre: two ways of thinking about (sexual) difference.
Int J Psychoanal
October 2024

The author explores the notion of sexual difference, which Freud articulated in his vast work. The paper approaches different levels of theoretical and epistemological order, since the way of thinking about "difference" has crucial effects on clinical work. The point of departure was to analyse the changes that are observed in current subjectivities regarding the female condition and the changing itineraries of sexuality and gender, since the analysts' explicit and private theories, as well as their beliefs and biases, are put into play in psychoanalytic listening.

He supposed that the roots of the Rat Man's great obsessive fear were derived from his unconscious phantasies of introjecting his father's penis per anum.

Bion describes this state mainly in the analyst, while Winnicott focuses on this state of mind in the patient.
