Informed by gender theory, "queer" theory and feminism, this text addresses the tensions inherent in writing about lesbians and sexuality in the postmodern age. Using clinical anecdotes to demonstrate theory, the author questions the construction of categories of identity and reference.

Sexual Subjects, a psychoanalytic book informed by gender theory, queer theory and feminism, addresses the tensions inherent in writing about lesbians and sexuality in the postmodern age.

Adria Schwartz masterfully intertwines clinical anecdotes with engaging theoretical questions that examine the construction of important categories of identity--woman, feminist, mother, lesbian, and homo/hetero/bisexual. Schwartz also addresses specific issues which are problematic but nonetheless meaningful to self-identified lesbians such as roles in gender play, lesbian "bed death," and raising non-traditional families. Written from a psychoanalytic and postmodern perspective, this book is a significant contribution to the work done on the conceptualization of lesbian sexuality and identity.

Adria E. Schwartz is Supervising Analyst at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis and is on the faculties of the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Mt. Sinai Medical Center's Department of Psychiatry. She has a private practice in New York City.
