Abstract

ABSTRACT Fragmented narratives, half-phrases, silences, and affect states that populate the consulting room can be understood through Jung’s notion of the prospective function. These halting affect-laden phrases reveal the taboo around psychological integration in a certain population. Using Carl Jung, Donald Winnicott, Ann Ulanov, and James Grostein, this article analyzes the space of not-knowing or, said another way, of knowing from another source, a source for which the location is found in the void and emerges through desire.

期刊介绍： Beginning in the final two decades of the 20th century, the study of gender and sexuality has been revived from a variety of directions: the traditions of feminist scholarship, postclassical and postmodern psychoanalytic theory, developmental research, and cultural studies have all contributed to renewed fascination with those powerfully formative aspects of subjectivity that fall within the rubric of "gender" and "sexuality." Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
