- Description
- Examination of the roles of aggressive fantasies and impulses in contemporary women's lives. The author argues that such impulses have previously been overlooked by psychoanalysis, feminism and depth psychology when She demonstrates how the management of aggressive fantasies plays a significant role in women's self-experience and their position in society and how aggressive fantasies become the basis for psychological, relational and moral growth. In particular, the author examines the role of aggressive fantasies and energies in recovery from severe eating disorders.
