Book excerpt: This book engages bisexuality as a concept relevant and even central to contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. The author provides an overview of the origins of this concept in Freudian theory and analyzes the ways in which it has been used, theoretically and clinically, in recent decades. Bisexuality' s intersections with clinical and theoretical issues such as erotic transference/countertransference and Oedipus complex are explored, as are the types of pressures and anxieties experienced by bisexuals of different genders. The book's main purpose is to promote a shift away from a traditional psychoanalytic view of bisexuality as an undifferentiated, primitive state that belongs to the past, of both the individual and the species, and has to be given up as a condition for "real" adult sexuality - towards recognition of bisexuality as a form of desire and practice that is alive and present in individuals' lives and, as contemporary bisexual theory has demonstrated, has the power to transform many limiting notions about sexuality. The book aims, not only to promote a better understanding and greater acceptance of bisexual identities and practices among psychoanalytic clinicians, but also to shed light on some of psychoanalytic theory's foundational biases and help shift psychoanalytic thinking from monosexual to bisexual epistemology.
