"Ranks among the best of recent psychoanalytic work on same-sex object choice. The book does not propose a general theory of lesbian development or dynamics. Instead, it undertakes the more basic task of showing that psychoanalytic discourse, up to the present day and almost without exception . . . is incapable of conceiving lesbianism as anything but perverse, unnatural. . . . Thus it is essentially a critique of psychoanalytic theory, and, as such, it should prove of great interest to those who are interested primarily in lesbianism and to those who are concerned with the more general issues of the contours and limitations of psychoanalytic theory and discourse."Oconnor, Noreen is the author of 'Wild Desires and Mistaken Identities Lesbianism and Psychoanalysis', published 2003 under ISBN 9781855753303 and ISBN 1855753308.
