ABSTRACT

More limits. In this chapter I expand the scope of this study of psychoanalysis and its limits to describe some contemporary debates and tensions inside theory and practice over the role of the family, gender and sexuality. I do this by describing recent connections between psychoanalysis and queer theory, visiting Russia to see how it works out there. We will need to take a little journey through queer, however, before we arrive in Russia. We will get there eventually. Bear with me.
