TY - JOUR A1 - Samuels, Andrew T1 - Finding Home in (An)other: Relational Chemistry and Its Psychoanalytic Derivations JF - Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 06 (1996), pp. 295-321. N2 - Sexual misconduct by analysts and psychotherapists is a topic that causes great public concern. The profession should certainly respond to this concern. But the problem of sexual misconduct also provides a stimulus to new theorizing leading to an engagement with issues of social justice. I argue that there are three contentious issues: First, I criticize the growing practice of >safe< analysis, seen as a misplaced response to the problem of sexual misconduct. Second, I urge a fresh look at the theme of incestuous sexual fantasy in family process. This would provide a broader theoretical base for the exploration of sexual desire in analysis. Third, I seek to retheorize the father in general and paternal sexuality in particular. New thinking about paternal erotics turns out to have many sociopolitical implications. Y1 - 1996 ER -
