A Story of Her Own: The Female Oedipus Complex Reexamined and Renamed, Jason Aronson, 2008.
The book: This book reformulates the psychoanalytic concept of the "female oedipal complex" and gives it a new name, “The Persephone Complex.” The authors integrate traditional psychoanalytic theory, contemporary theories and data about female development and psychology, and clinical experience into a comprehensive theory that is not based on male models. They touch upon the ways women cope with their sexuality and feelings about their bodies; with feelings of anger, competition and jealousy; and with their ever-evolving relationships with their mothers, fathers, peers and lovers.
The authors: Nancy Kulish is an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, at Wayne State University and adjunct professor of psychology at the University of Detroit. She is in private practice in Birmingham, Michigan. Deanna Hotzman is a training and supervising analyst and past president of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. She is associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, at Wayne State University.
