"Andrea Celenza's major work on sexual misconduct has become indispensable. Now she has written something broader, an original and scholarly linkage of 'sexuality as sexuality' to the wider issues of relationality and meaning with which many clinicians are more comfortable. As such, the book is much needed. Celenza never ducks the difficult issues for clinicians when experiencing and working with sexual pressures; she never resorts to trendy euphemisms or word games. The book will be appreciated by many kinds of therapy professionals, not just psychoanalysts (who will recognise an author at the height of her powers)."- Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex, UK
"In this provocative new contribution, Andrea Celenza courageously explores some of the most controversial areas in contemporary psychoanalysis. With detailed clinical examples she challenges the reader to think of eros, gender, and perverse scenarios in complex, multi-determined ways that transcend binary distinctions or reductive classical formulations. I highly recommend it to all psychoanalytically-oriented clinicians."- Glen O. Gabbard, MD, Author, Love and Hate in the Analytic Setting
