Sexual faces

"The twelve chapters of this book, written by authors from psychoanalysis and allied fields, discuss the intricacies of the phenomenology of sexuality; a complex organization of biological, psychological, cultural, and economic components. The authors' interest centers on identification as a dominant factor in the establishment of gender, but they recognize that psychological processes are constantly evolving from biological, cultural, and physical environmental factors. From this dialectical perspective, the authors emphasize the importance of epigenesis and psychic integration as influenced by and influencing the developmental stages of life."--BOOK JACKET.
