Sigmund Freud and Psychoanalytical Feminism

Starting by penetrating into the limitations of S. Freud's psychoanalytical theory, this essay makes an in-depth discussion of the inner connection between Freud's psychoanalytical theory and psychoanalytical feminism, with the focus on its criticism, inheritance, development and deliberation on the part of feminism. Whether Freud is an out-and-out biological determinist or not remains a question to this day. However, according to psychoanalytical feminists, the importance of Freud's psychoanalytical theory lies in its challenge to biological determinism, although they do not deny the male-supremacy tendency inherent in Freud's theory.
