Abstract
This article will argue that there is no war on gender, in the context of the so-called ‘gender wars’. The dominant binary model of gender as male, masculine, heterosexual or female, feminine, heterosexual is not under scrutiny. There is an old and ongoing attempt to control sex, gender and sexuality and constrain and construct what these mean for the benefit of the patriarchal status quo. Rather than a war on gender, there is a war on identities, relationships and families that are the ‘wrong’ gender, other to the heterosexual nuclear family.
期刊介绍：
The British Journal of Psychotherapy is a journal for psychoanalytic and Jungian-analytic thinkers, with a focus on both innovatory and everyday work on the unconscious in individual, group and institutional practice. As an analytic journal, it has long occupied a unique place in the field of psychotherapy journals with an Editorial Board drawn from a wide range of psychoanalytic, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic, and analytical psychology training organizations. As such, its psychoanalytic frame of reference is wide-ranging and includes all schools of analytic practice. Conscious that many clinicians do not work only in the consulting room, the Journal encourages dialogue between private practice and institutionally based practice. Recognizing that structures and dynamics in each environment differ, the Journal provides a forum for an exploration of their differing potentials and constraints. Mindful of significant change in the wider contemporary context for psychotherapy, and within a changing regulatory framework, the Journal seeks to represent current debate about this context.
