| Long abstract | “Psychoanalysis may be queer but it is not queer theory,” ob-serves Patricia Gherovici, in a sentence that encapsulates the central tension structuring Clinical Encounters in Sexuality. As the chapters in this volume demonstrate, psychoanalysis looks different from a queer perspective, often disorientingly so. Yet even as the potential queerness of psychoanalysis is teased out and highlighted, some minimal difference between the two re-mains. What to make of that difference—indeed, what to make of various small differences—exercises all of the contributors in one way or another, eliciting a range of responses, from the intrigued and engaged to the disturbingly phobic. |
