In this pathbreaking book a leading contemporary thinker brings together psychoanalysis, anthropology, and gender analysis to create an original theory about the ways in which we look at ourselves. The "power of feelings" -- the individual subjective meaning we bring to our experiences -- are at least as important as their cultural and social meanings, claims Nancy J. Chodorow.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
The Power of Feelings . . . has much to offer feminists both inside and outside the academy in the form of an incisive critique of postmodern trends. . . . Chodorow's new book does more, however, than bring us up to date on current practices in psychoanalysis. The Power of Feelings also presents a major revision of her earlier suppositions about gender identity. Although Chodorow herself emphasizes points of continuity, many readers will be surprised. Some may even be shocked. . . . The Power of Feelings allows us to appreciate the difference between psychoanalysis as a universalizing theory and psychoanalysis as therapeutic practice. -- Mari Jo Buhle, Women's Review of Books
