Sex Now, Talk Later Zusammenfassung

Sex Now, Talk Later Estela V. Welldon

Sex matters. It is a crucial part of whom we are and what to do. So why do we police what is 'normal' and what is 'bizarre'? As the author argues in this insightful book, whenever we disapprove of others or ourselves in this way, we close our eyes to a deeper understanding of human nature. As a psychiatrist, she has also worked inside prisons with sex offenders, so she is familiar with the extremes of 'oddity'. Here, she uses a psychoanalytic framework with humour, insight and clarity to explore why we disapprove, and what we lose when we do. She presents us with a series of interwoven vignettes, drawn from clinical work and life experiences, which have led her to these conclusions. The author argues in this book that as human beings we have a responsibility to develop a much more enquiring and open mind, and to feel privileged rather than disgusted when we have access to primitive fantasies that shine light into the dark corners of minds not considered 'normal'.

Sex Now, Talk Later Bewertungen

'Dr. Estela Welldon, the doyenne of forensic psychotherapy, has written a delightful new masterpiece. Though only one hundred and thirty-two pages long, this beautifully illustrated book serves as a mighty encapsulation of Welldon's nearly sixty-year career as a mental health practitioner. Stunningly, if provocatively, illustrated by the talented artist Ricardo Cinalli, Welldon's book investigates the forensic state of mind in which human beings act out, often ending up in painful sexual situations, rather than talking about, or thinking about, their dangerous desires or the potential consequences. This new tome builds helpfully upon Welldon's classic Mother, Madonna, Whore: The Idealization and Denigration of Motherhood and upon her many other standard works. Pleasantly, Welldon has, this autumn, published not only Sex Now Talk Later but, also, an updated version of her popular text on Sadomasochism, now published under the title Sadomasochism in Art and Politics. I recommend both books most enthusiastically as essential reading for all practitioners of the psychological arts.'-Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, in the Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, London, and, Senior Clinical Research Fellow in Psychotherapy and Mental Health at the Centre for Child Mental Health
