Abstract

This paper invites the reader to experience an intimate encounter with the lived female gendered body. The journey begins with a conception of the body as socio-culturally formed, iterated and reiterated in persistent dialectical fashion via interpersonal and environmental contacts. Because bodies are treated neither equally nor equitably in society, females face exquisite vulnerability and precarity. Non-normative approaches can only be endeavored in the context of illuminating normative lived experiences; therefore, multiple illustrations of this phenomena throughout history will be offered. Consideration of queer theories in union with contemporary psychoanalytic relational and feminist concepts will act as conduit to emancipate the societally embattled and confined bodies of our female gendered patients. A case is discussed in which evolving relational, queer encounters in the treatment resulted in her being able to claim ownership over her body and therefore her life.

摘要

本文邀请读者体验与女性性别身体的亲密接触。这段旅程始于身体的概念，它是社会文化形成的，通过人际和环境接触以持续的辩证方式迭代和重申。由于身体在社会中得不到平等对待，女性面临着极度的脆弱性和不稳定。非规范方法只能在阐明规范生活经验的背景下进行；因此，我们将提供历史上这一现象的多种例证。酷儿理论与当代精神分析关系和女权主义概念的结合将成为解放女性患者在社会中陷入困境和受限制的身体的渠道。
