An extended critical reading of Freud's essay on a case of homosexuality in a woman undermines the notion of gender identity and sexual object choice as monolithic categories of experience. The Freud case is considered for its radical model of sexuality and gender, but also for its restrictive use of classical interpretation. Alternative interpretive lines and transference countertransference meanings are considered. With the use of contemporary clinical material, a model of gender identity and sexuality is proposed in which the unconscious and symbolic meaning of bodies and genders, rather than biological sex of the lover and the beloved, carries the interpretive weight.}, language = {en} } @article{Harris, author = {Harris, Adrienne}, title = {>Successful< dissociation, pseudovitality, and inauthentic use of the Senses}, series = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 01 (1991), pp. 243-248.}, journal = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 01 (1991), pp. 243-248.}, language = {en} } @article{Harris, author = {Harris, Adrienne}, title = {A Note on Two Common Assumptions About Interpersonal Psychoanalysis: Commentary on Jeanne Wolff Bernstein's >Countertransference: Our New Royal Road to the Unconscious?<}, series = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 02 (1992), pp. 001-003.}, journal = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 02 (1992), pp. 001-003.}, language = {en} } @article{Harris, author = {Harris, Adrienne}, title = {Emotional Connections and Dyadic Consciousness in Infant-Mother and Patient-Therapist Interactions: Commentary on Paper by Frank M.

Using a clinical example, I point out four aspects of my work on the unconscious: that unusual links of body and mind are posited that the unconscious is historical that the unconscious also contains transhistorical forces and processes and, finally, that unconscious life handles time in unusual and nonrational ways.
