ABSTRACT Responding to Straayer’s article linking the phenomenon of phantom limbs to the experience of trans men, I highlight common features between neuroscience and psychoanalysis. My commentary questions a few claims made by Straayer. Applying psychoanalytic concepts, I refer to a short story by Christine Brooke-Rose and to a notorious case by Robert Stoller that has been neglected in psychoanalytic literature, a book-length study of a female patient who experienced having a phantom penis. This allows me to discuss the controversial notion of the phallus and bring it to bear on the original and stimulating thesis presented here.
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."
