British Jungian analyst Andrew Samuels points to gender as the “supreme gateway between the public and the private dimensions of power,” offering a psychological framework that can be an ally of a progressive sexual politics. Samuels criticizes a historically “mother-centered” psychoanalysis, urging a more balanced view of the father’s role in parenting. Providing examples from contemporary culture and politics, he also challenges the absence in much current psychological literature of the female trickster, a woman who can “undermine the prevailing organization of power and even the perceived structure of social reality itself.”
